According to them, “We are extremely disappointed that the CPUC sided with multi-billion-dollar energy corporations like PG&E and against the interests of consumers and the environment. We will explore all options to sustain and protect our cities’ energy consumers and California’s clean energy leadership in the face of this unfortunate decision.”
CPUC Commissioners say their decision is “fair” to all customers
In a statement, CPUC Commissioner Carla Peterman explained, “We are updating the PCIA formula now because everyone agrees it is broken. I support the creation of alternative electric providers to expand customer choice, and our legal obligation is to make sure this happens without increased costs to customers who do not, or cannot, join a CCA. Today’s proposal ensures a more level playing field between customers.”
Additionally, Peterman emphasized that the new PCIA formula complies with the statutory requirement that prohibits shifting costs between the customers of CCA and utility companies.
