Loading...
Summary
After closed session, the board reported it directed staff to initiate an appeal of California Public Utilities Commission Decision 25-12-008, which approved SDG&E’s 2026 procurement and related forecasts, citing concerns raised in legal counsel’s advice.
The San Diego Community Power Board of Directors returned to open session on March 26, 2026, and General Counsel reported the board had directed staff to initiate an appeal of California Public Utilities Commission Decision 25‑12‑008, the decision that approved San Diego Gas & Electric Company’s 2026 electric procurement revenue requirement, sales forecast and greenhouse‑gas related forecast. General Counsel said the board gave direction in closed session to pursue that appeal.
The report was brief and made as a reportable action following a closed‑session discussion of anticipated litigation under Government Code §54956.9. The board did not offer further public detail during the meeting about the legal grounds of the appeal or any timetable for filing. No public comment on the closed‑session item was reported.
The board’s announcement is procedural: it records direction to initiate an appeal rather than the filing itself. The next steps identified in the meeting were internal: staff and counsel will execute the direction and report back to the board as appropriate. The board did not vote in open session on the appeal; the action was reported as a closed‑session direction by General Counsel.
