The utility is rolling out a new pricing structure. It could cost you more every month. Kpix5s Susie Steimle joins us now to explain. 150,000 customers have been notified that they are a test group for this new pay structure known as time of use payments. Opponents call it punishment pricing and want you to know you can opt out. If youre a pg e customer, make sure youre watching your mailbox. Rate changes rolled out this week. We sent a letter to about 150,000 customers. Its basically a 90 day notice to make them aware. Reporter pg e officially launched its new time of use rates meaning rates will increase during peak hours of 4 p. M. To 9 p. M. The states plan is to move all residential customers to a time of use plan eventually. Reporter pg e spokesperson matt nowman says this directive comes from the state legislature. The objective is to encourage consumers to reduce energy use during peak hours when its most expensive. He said in return your rates will be lower the other 19 hours of the day. Not running your washing machine or dishwasher until after 9 00. Its just not right to punish people for cooking dinner. Reporter the executive director for the Utility Reform Network is a Consumer Watchdog Group that shares the goal of pg e of reducing electrical use during peak hours, but says signing people up for a new program without their consent is the wrong way to do it. We would much rather have a time of use system where people are urged to join it affirmatively instead of automatically being signed up for it whether they ask for it or not. Reporter he wants consumers to know you can opt out and if you dont like this plan, tell the people who have the power to change it. And if their bills are going sky high because of these time of use rates, this punishment pricing, yo o keep your sa you got to let your legislators know this. If you decide to opt out, you need to tell pg e that youd like to keep your same payment plan. For the first year for customers in this time of use test group, if your bill is higher than previous bills, pg e will refund the difference. Susie steimle, kpix5. New at 6 00 the acting mayor of San Francisco, london breed, is facing calls to step aside. City supervisors say her double duty as mayor and president of the board gives her an unfair advantage in the special election to replace the late ed lee. Kpix5s phil matier on the looming showdown over the acting mayor. Phil . Reporter thats right. Shes acting in order to stay on till june guaranteed she needs six votes from the board of supervisors, but to get her replacement, they need six votes as well. Nobody seems to have six votes, so its a bit of a touchy subject. Lets take a look. Do you think you have six votes to stay on . Look at you, phil. Youre just all in our business. Reporter acting San Francisco mayor london breed spent the morning doing what mayors do, for example, touring a head start center. Do you want to hold onto the job . Of course, im running. Reporter but there is a feeling growing among supervisors at city hall that breed staying on in the top job as mayor will give her a leg up over other candidates in the race like supervisor jane kim or former state senator mark leno or former supervisor angela alioto. Add in the question about breed being both acting mayor and president of the board of supervisors, then you have some like aaron peskin saying its time for a choice. So that we can have an open discussion so members of the public can tell us what theyre thinking. People believe that there is a huge advantage to being in office when you run. Reporter do you think this is a political move on some of the peoples part . I think that everyone is titled to their opinion. Im fine with both.

Im doing the job and i want to continue to do the job. These are strange times. Reporter and shell be allowed to do that as long as the board remains its indecisive self.
