Dear Neighbor,
Every four years, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) is required by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to file an application known as the General Rate Case.
Earlier this year, PG&E filed their 2027 General Rate Case, and the CPUC examines the utilities’ proposed costs, investments, and service levels.
The continuous rate increases are concerning, and I want to make sure my constituents who are PG&E customers are informed of the potential changes and the opportunities to make your voice heard.

October 22, 2025 – 2 p.m. (Virtual)
