California Income-Based Electricity Rates, Equity Legislation
California utility companies including SDG&E and PG&E are proposing a fundamental change to electricity pricing based on a state equity law. The plan introduces a fixed monthly delivery rate scaled by household income, where high earners making over $180,000 would pay significantly more than lower-income households. Critics argue the law may face legal challenges in court before full implementation.
