Wholesale natural gas prices across the country are soaring. That means San Diego Gas & Electric customers who heat their homes and businesses with gas will see their monthly bills go up as well.

“An increasing number of customers are struggling to pay ever-rising utility bills,” said Mark Toney, executive director of The Utility Reform Network, or TURN, a consumer watchdog based in San Francisco. “This shows that the [California Public Utilities Commission] has to do more to control the costs and make essential electricity and gas affordable to all customers.”
