Regulatory Case Documents

PG&E is a public utility regulated by a number of State of California and U.S. governmental regulatory bodies. The two principal regulators of PG&E are the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). This site provides selected case documents associated with regulatory proceedings at both the CPUC and FERC.

PG&E cannot ensure that all documents filed in a case are present on this site, although efforts are made to obtain all substantive documents.


Case Names and Numbers

Regulatory cases do not usually have formally designated case names, although the parties to a case may have commonly-used names or abbreviations they use to refer to them. The formal designator for a case is a case number or docket number, depending on the venue.

In CPUC cases, the case number is usually shown as: x.00-00-000, where "x" indicates the type of case (A = Application to the CPUC; R =CPUC Rulemaking; I = CPUC Investigation), and the numeric digits indicate, from the left in order, the last two digits of the year of filing (06 = 2006); the middle two digits indicate the month of filing (04 = April); and the right-hand three digits indicate a sequence number within the month of filing. For example R.06-04-009 is the Greenhouse Incentives OIR proceeding.
