The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will hold a Utility Pole Safety En Banc on April 28.The CPUC has recently considered utility pole safety issues in various proceedings, but these opportunities have necessarily been limited in scope. For example, the CPUC has considered utility pole safety in the context of a specific incident, or an investor-owned utility’s General Rate Case, or in the context of extending rights of way to a particular industry.This day-long en banc is designed to begin a broader conversation on utility pole safety by bringing together representatives from different industries and stakeholder groups (e.g., investor-owned utilities, communications providers, public safety agencies, consumer groups, utility worker groups) for a high-level discussion of utility pole safety not limited to a specific incident, industry, or service territory.Although a quorum of Commissioners and/or their staff may be in attendance, no official CPUC action will be taken at this event.

Agenda and media advisory available at: http://www.cpuc.ca.gov/General.aspx?id=10150.For questions, please contact April Mulqueen at [email protected] or 415.703.1112.

Public Workshop Notice: R.14-10-010 - Workshop on Flexible Resource AdequacyMarch 30, 201610 am – 4:30 pm


(Wheelchair Accessible)

Web and teleconference information will be provided closer to the workshop.

The purpose of this Energy Division hosted workshop will be to address the questions related to Flexible RA requirements raised in the revised scoping memo issued on December 23rd, 2015, and to address party proposals for amendments to the RA program rules related to flexible capacity requirements (FCRs).

The recent scoping memo stated: “the primary focus of Track 2 (anticipated late 2016 decision) is to adopt a durable flexible capacity requirement program,” and asked parties to answer the following questions in their comments on the scoping memo:

1. What reliability need(s) must FCRs be designed to meet?2. What definition of one or more flexible capacity products should be adopted to meet this need or needs?3. How should annual FCR requirements be set to meet this need or needs with the defined product(s)?4. What, if any, related changes to the RA program should be made to best meet the reliability needs?

Parties who submitted comments on these questions are therefore invited to present their perspectives at this workshop.

Parties also submitted proposals into Track 1 of the RA proceeding that asked the CPUC to consider creating a 2 hour RA product, and “unbundling” the Net-Qualifying Capacity and Effective Flexible Capacity Requirements. Staff also invites those parties to present these proposals at the workshop.

Furthermore, Staff invites interested stakeholders who have done relevant work related to modeling and understanding near-term flexibility needs to present at the workshop, regardless of party-status in the RA proceeding.

To indicate your interest in presenting, please contact Meredith Younghein ([email protected]) before March 7th. Please check the daily calendar closer to the meeting date for call-in and webconference information.
