Fuel adjustment squeeze hiking local power rates
City of Lompoc faces a rising burden from monthly fuel cost adjustments as shortages lift wholesale power bills. Since May 1973 Lompoc and five municipal buyers saw 25 fuel cost hikes, with Lompoc's total wholesale power cost up 122.2 percent by May 1975 from $42,000 to $94,000 per month. The state CPUC study and federal regulators slow or defer approvals, squeezing small public utilities. Residents’ bills now exceed neighboring communities by notable margins, despite earlier policies to keep rates lower than Vandenberg Village Mission Hills and Santa Maria.
