"In its decision, the commission admitted that granting PG&E half a billion up front, based only on PG&E’s word, “departs from the general requirement to raise rates only after the costs are determined reasonable.” #UtilityJustice https://www.sfchronicle.com/opinion/openforum/article/california-electric-bills-news-puc-19410274.php
PG&E has 15 billion in the bank and a 25% year over year increase in profits, yet the #CPUC still thinks ratepayers have to cover their 2.5 billion dollar cost overrun last year.

To Address Deadly Heat, Policymakers Must Ban Utility Shutoffs, Ramp Up Solar, Phase Out Fossil Fuels
Center for Biological Diversity: WASHINGTON— More than 170 social justice, environmental, faith, health and labor groups urged key policymakers today to implement lifesaving bans on utility disconnections, ramp up renewable energy and resilient water systems, and phase out fossil fuels — the root cause of this summer’s extreme heat. The groups say President Biden’s Thursday announcement of limited measures to help communities survive deadly, record-shattering heat ignores the urgent short- and long-term solutions needed to address the climate emergency.
Jacob SerflingMidwest Building Decarbonization Coalition starts a series of trainings on engaging with utility commissions next week. There are several critical dockets impacting our ability to move on from #fossilfuel heating in 2023. Advocates need to be heard in this space!

#Utilities are cutting people off from life-saving services at alarming rates. 1.5M #shutoffs in 30 states & DC just last year. It’s time Congress recognize that access to energy is a #HumanRight and ban shutoffs. #UtilityJustice
