The Soaring Cost of Electricity for PG&E Customers in California
It\u2019s been a tumultuous time for Californians and their electric bills. Since the start of this year alone, PG&E customers have seen one rate hike after another. Now, a fixed fee is being brought into the mix, leaving many wondering: how did we get here and is there any way to make sure California\u2019s energy systems stay up and running, while also keeping the cost to the customer affordable?
We\u2019re going to get one perspective on all this with Loretta Lynch, former president of the California Public Utilities Commission and attorney in San Francisco.
KCBS did reach out to the CPUC and PG&E with an invitation to be a part of this conversation and both entities declined, though PG&E did send information on price increases, which you\u2019ll hear some of during the conversation and at the end of this program.
