Under Review: 6,584 MW
The CEC review process can take around 12 months once the developer has demonstrated that the necessary data is available.

I have heard that "data adequacy" takes around 1 month and that the average time inerval between "data adequacy" and approval is 12.3 months. On the other hand, I have heard some developers caution that the review process can take 24 months or more.

AB970 was passed in the Summer of 2000. It calls for an expedited review of certain projects. For example, if the projects have met air quality rules and comply with land use regulation, the review process is expected to be around 6 months.
