CPUC Proposes 7.6 Gigawatts of Offshore Wind Energy Purchase, Surpassing Previous Plans Ahead of Final Decision.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has proposed a proposal to commit to purchasing 7.6 gigawatts of offshore wind energy in the next decade, less than what developers and California’s Democratic delegation in Congress had requested, but more than what the agency had previously indicated it was considering. The proposal includes plans to use new purchasing authority created by Gov. Gavin Newsom and the Legislature to buy renewable energy years ahead of time from projects that take a lot of time and money to develop, such as offshore wind. It also includes plans for geothermal energy and long-duration energy storage. The decision will be finalised by the agency’s commissioners next month.
