Grid infrastructure: Cost assignment under reviewPendingThe Commission is considering how private-use networks and utility facilities for new large loads should allocate costs.
Reporting and true-up: Comments and guidelines remain nonbindingPendingThe related large-load-guidelines repository informs the docket but does not create an enforceable customer obligation.
