The California Public Utilities Commission is expected to vote on Thursday on a new proposal that would add another fixed charge to electric bills. Pacific Gas and Electric said customers would see a $4 to $6 increase in their bills and that's in addition to rate hikes put into place this year.

The Utility Reform Network said, “The current system that sets no limits on rate increases, needs to be replaced by a cap on annual bills, set at the Cost of Living Adjustment provided by Social Security.”
