Opinion: SDG&E profits while 1-in-3 households can’t pay utility bills While Californians are struggling to pay their bills, private utilities are posting record profits. The Public Utilities Commission can change that.

“These five commissioners have the power to set lower rates of guaranteed profit, saving Californians billions of dollars a year.” While utilities rake in record profits, thousands of families drown in debt. @californiapuc, choose people over profit.

That kind of increase deserves careful public review. Instead, PG&E is using an advice letter process that limits transparency and stakeholder input.

Solar should stay affordable and accessible for Californians.

PG&E is moving forward with a proposal that could take effect as soon as tomorrow, raising the fee to connect solar to the grid — in some cases from $145 to $2,000.

Since attorneys general from 22 states filed lawsuits to restore Solar for All Funding, the federal government hasn't taken action.

Tell your attorney general: We must fight for an affordable, clean energy future that centers solar power.
