Existing Examples of Progress: Go-Biz established the Tracking Energy Development (TED) Task Force—bringing together the CEC, CPUC, CAISO, and Go-Biz—to identify barriers and improve interagency collaboration. A major finding was that local jurisdictions often lack permitting transparency and alignment, causing delays even after state contracts are signed. The TED Task Force is working under a 2021 Executive Order to better align permitting and tracking among state energy agencies to prevent future grid reliability crises.
