UPDATE 8/3/22

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

As the pandemic’s economic upheaval continues to reverberate, AARP California is presenting a series of free one-hour presentations, geared to the Latino community, to help people build financial resilience.

AARP is working in partnership with local leaders, organizations and dedicated residents to help make California more livable for residents of all ages.

AARP has filed testimony with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) in response to a four-year rate plan submitted by Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E). Starting with an 18% increase in 2023 for both electric and gas service, this is PG&E’s biggest rate increase in decades and follows a 9% rate increase imposed upon PG&E customers earlier this year. If approved, by 2026, customers would see their energy bills skyrocket: a 39.25% increase over 2021 for electric rates, and a 56.9% increase for gas rates.

Observed on June 19, Juneteenth National Independence Day is a historic holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States.

Some 16 million PG&E customers could see their utility bills jump by an estimated 20 percent or more under rate hikes proposed by Pacific Gas & Electric. That would mean a yearly increase from 2023 to 2026.
