Senate Bill 254 Seeks to Lower Utility Costs in California, Moving Through Legislation

Source: KRCR  |  By Hannah Gutierrez

Senator Josh Becker’s Senate Bill 254 would require utility companies, such as PG&E, to submit their wildfire plans for review at least every four years.  The bill would also require these companies to submit rate case proposals that prioritize cost-effectiveness, which could ultimately lead to lower bills for consumers in the long run.

The Utility Reform Network (TURN) states that the bill could lead to a 2% to 3% decrease in utility bills for the average residential customer.
