 the City of Norco filed a petition for modification ("PFM") to modify the CPUC decision approving the project and reopen the record to reconsider full undergrounding. In November 2023, SCE filed a response opposing the PFM. In March 2024, the CPUC denied the PFM. In May 2024, the RCC voted to move forward with the original scope of the project and SCE restarted its work on the project. In July 2024, SCE initiated construction bid solicitations with awards expected in the first half of 2025. 

Alberhill System Project

The Alberhill System Project consists of constructing a new 500 kV substation, two 500 kV transmission lines to connect the proposed substation to the existing Serrano-Valley 500 kV transmission line, telecommunication equipment, and subtransmission lines in western Riverside County. The project was designed to meet long-term forecasted electrical demand in the proposed Alberhill System Project area and to increase electrical system reliability and resiliency. In April 2018 and July 2018, the CPUC issued a proposed decision and an alternate proposed decision, both denying SCE's ability to construct the Alberhill System Project based on a perceived lack of need. SCE filed comments on both proposed decisions requesting that the CPUC grant the CPCN for the Alberhill System Project. In August 2018, the CPUC issued a decision that did not deny or approve the Alberhill System Project but directed SCE to submit supplemental information on the Alberhill System Project, including, but not limited to, a load forecast and cost benefit analysis of several alternatives to the proposed project. In January 2020, SCE submitted a supplemental analysis to the CPUC for the Alberhill System Project including several alternatives to the proposed project as well as an update to the original project cost. In June 2023, SCE filed an amended CPCN with technical design modifications and engineering refinements to the proposed project that decrease project costs and reduce GHG emissions. In June 2024, the CPUC issued an addendum to its 2017 Final
