- inferiorhuman 3y agoCalifornia will vary quite a bit. The municipal power companies are quite reasonable (in the Bay Area: Alameda, Palo Alto, Santa Clara?). PG&E (the dominant player in northern california): - lobbied hard against muni power - spent its safety budget on executive compensation - is recouping its maintenance costs and criminal penalties from its ratepayers instead of from its shareholders - got Newsom to stack the regulatory body (CPUC) with PG&E sycophants - is back to paying its shareholders dividends - has one of the most influential California politicians (Willie Brown) on their payroll Yes, it's obscene that in a climate as mild as the Bay Area, $400+ utility bills are the norm. Short of some major revolt, rates are set to go up in March as well.
