      "summary": "The Commission adopted a statewide model tariff for new or incremental large loads at or over 50 MW individually or 100 MW in aggregate. It is guidance for utility-specific filings rather than a self-executing statewide rate. The docket remains active after reconsideration activity and June 2026 follow-up rulemaking questions.",
