Each week, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) adds new filings to its ongoing and new proceedings, which affect utility services, communities, and consumers across the state. These filings include Proposed Decisions that are open for public comment, as well as new complaints and applications that could influence future policies and regulations.
For the week of January 19-23, 2026, several key filings were recorded:
