California utilities outline integrated‑planning guidelines, urge engineer judgment and scenario inputs At a CPUC workshop, SDG&E, SCE and PG&E presented integrated planning proposals that use engineering guidelines, pending‑load categorization and scenario planning to decide when to ‘upsize’ infrastructure now rather than later; IOUs said upsizing is often cheaper than repeating work and Energy Division set advice‑letter deadlines.

California's utilities are pushing for smarter infrastructure decisions, emphasizing that investing in larger capacity now could save millions later—what's the best way forward?
