A vote Thursday could allow PG&E to raise customers’ rates, again.
The California Public Utilities Commission is scheduled to vote on the latest rate increase, and if it allows it, PG&E bills will go up about $6 a month on average.
PG&E said it needs to bump up bills in order to make back what it lost during last winter’s major storms.
PG&E officials point to some relief coming in October in the form of a $55 one-time climate credit.
Utility officials also point to a 9% temporary rate decrease that went into effect in July, and they said they’re working to cut costs to bring prices down in the future.
