The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is holding Public Participation Hearings (PPHs) on SDG&E’s General Rate Case application. A General Rate Case is the formal regulatory proceeding to review, audit, and approve the operating budgets, infrastructure investments, and financial plans of utilities.
SDG&E is requesting approximately $3.8 billion for its electric and gas operations. This is $280 million (8.1%) over the 2027 expected authorized revenue requirement and is $1.1 billion over its authorized revenue requirement from just four years ago. If approved, the changes would increase a typical bundled residential customer’s monthly electric bill by approximately $14.03 and the natural gas bill by approximately $8.45 (an overall combined residential rate increase of about 8.6% or $22.48 per month).
As part of the proceeding, the CPUC is holding PPHs to hear from you – the SDG&E customer. This is your opportunity to tell the CPUC how utility rates affect you and your family.
