How long before PG&E blames the rate increases on all those people with solar panels.
Oh wait, they already did.
Wasn’t one of PG&E’s recent justifications for an anti-solar maneuver “solar isn’t fair to poor people”?
Exorbitant electric bills are fair to poor people I guess?
PG&E is very blatantly trying to crush EV adoption is California. They’re even advertising their EV plan by comparing their pricing to buying gas at the pump.
$0.65/kWh during peak is probably the highest power cost in the whole US, even including Hawaii.
At this point the regulators are totally in the hands of PG&E. They are getting everything they want. The cost of power here in California is insane. My mother is paying over $300 a month. We are being robbed.
All while burning huge swaths of land every year as well as pleading guilty to manslaughter for the deadliest fire of CA history.
We’ve got so many large fires raging that inspectors are spread thin; but I’d put good money on a few being caused by poor infrastructure maintained by PG&E
