A state bill that would renew payments made by PG&E to San Luis Obispo County schools and other agencies has been altered to draw from a new funding source. Senate Bill 931 was amended last month while in the Assembly Utilities and Energy Committee.
Matt Freedman, an attorney with The Utility Reform Network, agreed with the decision to source the funding from “volumeric performance fees”- money that PG&E already collects from ratepayers. “Any additional payments to the local governments should be taken out of the existing incentives and slush funds that PG&E collects in rates already, rather than raising rates further to cover this cost,” Freedman told KCBX.
