Photo Ana Montes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For the first time in more than 15 years, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is considering dramatic changes to residential electricity rates across the state that will mean higher bills for the majority of residential customers. California\u2019s three big private utility companies\u2014Pacific Gas &amp; Electric (PG&amp;E), Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas &amp; Electric (SDG&amp;E)\u2014have proposed changes that would: add a $10 per month fixed fee to all bills ($5 for California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) customers); reduce the number of rate tiers (from 4 to 2); increase baseline rates; and reduce the overall CARE discount. The CPUC is also considering whether to automatically enroll all customers into a \u201ctime of use\u201d rate that would charge significantly higher rates during peak summer hours.<\/p>\n<p>The utility companies claim that these changes will help to protect all customers from punitively high electricity bills, help customers located in hot climates, and reduce subsidies between high- and low-usage customers.<\/p>\n<p>But adding a monthly fee and raising the baseline rate would mean higher monthly bills for all CARE customers and most low-income customers. These changes would also punish customers who already conserve energy, and lower monthly bills for high-income and high-usage customers, especially those with large homes, large central air conditioning systems and large swimming pools.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_26170\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26170\" style=\"width: 360px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Turnt-Commentary_02web1.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-26170\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/Turnt-Commentary_02web1.jpg?resize=360%2C480&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Marin Cant\u00fa visited from Fresno in November of 2009 to protest a rate hike at the California Public Utilities Commission Office in San Francisco.

The introduction of a $10 per month fee would amount to a $120 per year addition to electricity bills on top of the increased rates for all Tier 1 and Tier 2 usage.<\/p>\n<p>The CPUC is expected to make a decision sometime this summer.<\/p>\n<p>TURN urges consumers to voice their opinion about this proposal by contacting the CPUC Public Advisor, attending upcoming CPUC meetings, or by contacting Jasmine Kavezade, TURN grassroots organizer at (415) 954-8082 or <a href=\"mailto:jkavezade@turn.org\">jkavezade@turn.org<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time in more than 15 years, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is considering dramatic changes to residential electricity rates across the state that will mean higher bills for the majority of residential customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":26169,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"newspack_popups_has_disabled_popups":false,"newspack_featured_image_position":"","newspack_post_subtitle":"","newspack_article_summary_title":"Overview:","newspack_article_summary":"","newspack_hide_updated_date":false,"newspack_show_updated_date":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3929],"tags":[4779,4781,4777,4783,4775,4785],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-26168","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-california-public-utilities-commission-en","tag-cpuc-en","tag-pacific-gas-electric","tag-pge-en","tag-the-utility-reform-network","tag-turn-en","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
