“Rising rates are here to stay, especially in the San Diego area. Here to talk about increasing rates and what we can do about them is Lee Trotman, Communications Director for The Utility Reform Network or TURN as they are known.  Welcome Lee!” “Hi Ted, hi Veronica, good to be here.  You are correct that rising rates for energy seem to be here to stay, and there are things customers can do to slow down this pace.  The California Public Utilities Commission has to approve these increases so limiting the number of increases or capping them is a common sense solution that we are pushing for.  Also, customers need to get involved and put pressure on legislators to start assisting ratepayers, and one way to get involved is support a bill by Senator Josh Becker called SB 254.  Basically, it shifts wildfire costs from ratepayers and also introduces a lower cost public financing option which would result in lowering shareholder profits and your bills.  You can go to TURN.org for more information and learn various ways to lower your bill.”
