The CPUC has opened a proceeding to Establish Policies, Processes, and Rules to Ensure Safe and Reliable Gas Systems in California and perform Long-Term Gas System Planning. This proceeding is happening in two phases. Phase I (currently happening) seeks to define reliability requirements for gas service, while Phase II is focused on long-term gas system planning. This proceeding was launched in the context of local government actions to limit gas expansion and anticipated impacts on gas demand in the future.

BDC Webinar Series

The Building Decarbonization Coalition  wants to support member advocacy efforts on issues such as this one at the CPUC, and is launching a season-long webinar series to introduce you to the issues, challenges, stakeholders, and key perspectives in order to help inform and shape a collective advocacy strategy as a coalition. 

Hear from CPUC staff, parties to the proceeding (such as the Natural Resources Defense Council, The Utility Reform Network, The Greenlining Institute, ratepayer advocates, Environmental Defense Fund, Sierra Club), researchers, and consultants (including E3-invited, Gridworks), and other key stakeholders, so you can confidently navigate the issues and advocate like a pro when Phase II comes up next year!

Mark your calendars to join us (generally) every Wednesday starting October 14 through mid-December from 11:00am-12:00pm PT!
