Summary

Stakeholders pressed Southern California Edison, PG&E and SDG&E at a California Public Utilities Commission workshop for clearer timelines to fix two linked problems: circuits excluded from ICA publication (so‑called inactive circuits) and a high number of nodes or segments that show zero available hosting capacity.
The arguments: dozens of developers and advocacy groups said the current ICA outputs are not reliably actionable for siting projects such as EV chargers and solar plus storage. IREC commenter Skye Stanfield said utility ICA results are ‘‘leaning on the slightly conservative side’’ but warned the large share of zeros and circuits marked inactive makes the map unreliable for developers.
