Wow. Since when do utility companies get to make legislative policy? That is the job of the Ca. Congress. Smh…

You get what you vote for.

Just another reason why I am putting my house up for sale and leaving California.

[@joeblow1688]

Congrats!

By owner?

[@dimsom8461]

So charge me $24.15 to save me 5 cents a kilowatt…I break even only if I use more than 483kw…yes this makes sense. Let’s use more electricity so it makes sense.

[@DunkInHerDonut]

So much for having a solar panel that will save you money and pay itself 😂😂😂😂😂

I’ll be putting my gas utilities in my fixed low income mother’s name.

Remember, this isn’t a 24 dollar flat rate, it’s an additional 24 dollars on top of your utility bill.

What total bullsh#T!! My bill alone this month was $222.00 and the imperial irrigation district added over $154.00 in dam fees (taxes). And I’m on SSI. F#ck the puc and those who are getting away with ripping off the residential energy assistance program. They won’t even qualify me for the program.

[@mr2ti41]

Alright… who got paid behind the scenes to make this happen?

[@calimalu79cali11]

No plans to expand the power grid but we will be paying more for it. I don’t understand how dumb people are to believe this is a good thing.

[@mobyjoe1]

I guess I'm in the getting fkt group.

[@StitchFC]

Pay mine then, this is not relief for our family.

[@petecrespi418]

Why do I want to help pay somebody else's bill? When they already get a low income discount to start with? I tell you what how bout you keep the two to five cents savings and give that to the lower income customers. Also I don't have nor can I afford an electric car so screw the green deal savings your talking about

[@kathylopez8976]

Wow six dollars 😂😂😂😂

[@thuggoe]

this just encourage people to waste electricity and buy electric cars lol

[@Sick666Minded]

yay for electric cars

[@LeeBross-r7r]

It works on the amount your income. There is no way the utility can only charge the money that was stated. There is no incentive to conserve on electricity use if it is a flat fee.

[@LarsLarsen77]

It's not.
