San Diego Gas & Electric customers may pay a few bucks more on their bills from March until the end of this year if the California Public Utilities Commission signs off on a request recently filed by the local power provider.
SDG&E officials blamed the increase partly on high electric prices due to last summer’s hot weather.
“At a very high level, it basically boils down to the price of electricity being higher than was forecasted,” SDG&E said in an email to the Union-Tribune.
If the commission approves the application, typical customers in the inland climate zone using 400 kilowatt-hours of electricity would see a 3.3 percent increase in their bills starting March 1 and going through Dec. 31. That works out to an increase of $3.66 per month during the winter pricing months of Nov. 1 through May 31 and $3.72 for the summer months of June 1 through Oct. 31. The increase, if approved, would expire after 10 months Jan. 1, 2022.
