Large-load tariff for data centers: what is on file, the terms the filings state, and where each fact comes from. Terms a filing does not state are marked, never guessed.

Applies atNo explicit MW threshold found -- Rule 30 targets transmission-level (not distribution-level) interconnection, which in practice means large loads
What the filing saysElectric Rule 30 (Application A.24-11-007, filed Nov 21, 2024): a uniform tariff for transmission-level interconnection of large loads, including data centers. The CPUC approved an INTERIM implementation on July 24, 2025 -- applicants must pay 100% of required transmission-infrastructure costs up front as a prefunded loan; refund/cost-allocation terms are decided case by case until a final decision issues. Real precedent from one case: in the STACK Infrastructure matter (Resolution E-5420, Oct 2025), the CPUC limited the annual refund to 75% of transmission revenues PG&E actually collects from that customer (vs. near-full refund in year one under the standard tariff approach), stretching STACK's full refund out to roughly 6 years to reduce ratepayer risk. A final CPUC decision on Rule 30 itself (and its general refund terms) had not been confirmed issued as of this research.
