A new, independent study has found that a San Diego-run electric utility could reduce bills by 20% and save billions of dollars going forward. The independent report, in contrast to an analysis released by the city in 2023, also found that savings to city residents could soar over future years when compared to the rates charged by San Diego Gas & Electric.

The new study, based on the same internal documents the city’s consultant used, identified multiple assumptions that badly suppressed the potential savings a city-run power system would offer.

Public Power San Diego proposes a non-profit utility to slash electric utility bills by removing profit from the utility business, trimming executive salaries, and emphasizing locally generated clean energy.
