It was outrageous when the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) voted unanimously to allow PG&E to raise rates again on customers, which will take effect in April.
PG&E claims that it needs to raise rates in order to pay for wildfire mitigation projects. It is shameful what PG&E is doing to its customers in order to make a profit. When rates jump higher next month, they will be too much for the majority of customers in the state. They should not be punished for PG&E’s mishandling of the wildfires in Northern California.
I urge the CPUC commissioners to reconsider their position on allowing PG&E to raise rates on customers.
