Motion No. 15, p. 1. The Authority granted the Companies’ request for additional process and declined to rule on the request to stay pending further discovery. Motion Ruling No. 15, Apr. 11, 2025 (April Motion No. 15 Ruling), pp. 1–2.1
Based upon the additional discovery, the Authority declines to stay the Authority’s requirement to comply with EDC Directives, which are activities consistent with the EDCs’ current system planning and interconnection functions. To provide clarity on specific grid planning activities required for school bus electrification or FAS, the Authority directs the EDCs to coordinate with CGB and to submit a joint proposal to identify the specific tasks required to ensure effective administration of the FAS Program and timely deployment of federal funding resources.
