PG&E Pushes for Additional Price Hikes

Last month, the California public utilities commission approved an increase in monthly bills that would add about thirty dollars for gas and electricity users. Now the utility company is back to the table asking for more money that would impact customers. PG&E filed an application to the California Public Utilities Commission on Dec. 1. It lays out why the utility company says it needs $2 billion from rate payers. They claim it is for safety reasons.

“This is outrageous to have this again on top of that increase puts $30 on our bills,” Mark Toney, executive director of TURN, watchdog agency The Utility Reform Network. Toney is not holding back on his perspective of PG&E saying it needs more money. “This would put $12 on top of the $30,” Toney said.
