Who the fuck keeps approving these? We already have the highest rates in the country ffs
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.
PG&E is very blatantly trying to crush EV adoption in 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.
That rate is insane. I live in the PNW in a high cost of living area and drive an EV. I don’t even see charging stations, which during peak times often charge five times or higher the market rates for energy up here, charging that much.
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
How long before PG&E blames the rate increases on all those people with solar panels.
Oh wait, they already did.
