REDDING, Calif. — The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is scheduled to vote Thursday on a proposed rate increase for PG&E customers.
The proposal from PG&E contains two separate requests; one to underground powerlines to reduce fire danger and a second to increase the price for customers.
PG&E customers are welcome to provide public comment online to the CPUC ahead of Thursday's vote.
Once approved by the CPUC, any changes to your bill are anticipated to go into effect on January 1, 2024.

The continued growth of wind and solar, with their fluctuations, is tied in part to improvements in storage technology: batteries.
