Your Chance to Speak Up on SDG&E Rates: Public Hearings Start Today
SDG&E’s next General Rate Case (A.26-06-015) is now before the California Public Utilities Commission — and the Commission wants to hear from the customers who will pay the bill. The General Rate Case is the proceeding that decides how much SDG&E can charge for gas and electric service in the coming years, and public participation hearings (PPHs) are your opportunity to tell the CPUC, on the record, how these rates affect your household or business.
UCAN’s Role in This Case
The Utility Consumers’ Action Network (UCAN) is an intervenor in this proceeding, representing the interests of San Diego–area residential and small business customers. As an intervenor, UCAN reviews SDG&E’s rate request in detail, presents testimony from its own experts, questions the utility’s witnesses, and argues against costs that customers should not have to bear. UCAN has been advocating for San Diego utility customers before the CPUC for decades — but expert testimony is only part of the record. What commissioners hear directly from customers at these hearings carries weight too, and that’s where you come in. For more information on UCAN’s position and over all GRC information please read UCAN’s blog post Higher prices for San Diego ratepayers…again!

Hearing from real customers matters in these cases. If SDG&E’s rates affect your family, the Commission needs to hear that from you — not just from the utility.
