California Electricity Rate Increases: PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E
California homeowners suffer from some of the most aggressive utility rate hikes in the nation. The state's big three Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs)—PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E—consistently petition the CPUC for double-digit rate increases to cover the costs of wildfire mitigation, grid infrastructure, and legal liabilities.
The Danger of Income-Based Fixed Charges
Beyond standard kilowatt-hour hikes, California is moving toward "income-graduated fixed charges." This means utilities are attempting to charge homeowners high flat monthly fees simply for being connected to the grid, regardless of how much energy they use.
Opting Out of the Rate-Hike Cycle
By installing a hybrid solar and storage system through SunBeam Innovations, you dramatically reduce the amount of electricity you purchase from the utility. Securing a fixed-rate zero-down financing plan locks in your energy costs for the next 25 years, insulating your household budget from the inflation of California's energy sector.
