California senators grill CPUC over approval of 6 PG&E rate hikes in past year ...Middle East

News by : (CBS sacramento) -

California senators grilled the California Public Utilities Commission over the approval of six PG&E rate increases in the past year and skyrocketing utility bills.

"A $500 bill breaks the bank," State Senator Susan Rubio said.

"People on social security, people those with union jobs do not get six increases to their pay and yet PG&E gets six increases to be able to toss on to ratepayers," Wahab said. "Can you explain?"

Reynolds took the blistering examination with measured responses. 

The hearing comes as PG&E has raised its rates by 56 percent in the last three years

"PG&E shares California leaders' focus on delivering a safe, reliable, resilient energy system at the lowest possible cost for customers," the utility said in a statement.

"My district elected me to tackle the affordability crisis," Republican Senator Suzette Valladares said.

Now will California's utility regulator take a tougher stance on rate increase requests?
