Electric rate hike would hit Ukiah and four California cities
Pacific Gas and Electric filed with the Federal Power Commission for a 22 percent wholesale rate increase, potentially affecting Ukiah Healdsburg Alameda Lodi and others. Ukiah City Manager Jim Swayne said he would urge the council to oppose. The city pays about 650000 annually to PG E for power and typical usage is 8 10 thousand kWh yearly at around 1.5 cents per kWh. If approved the average bill could rise by about 12 50 monthly and 2 75 monthly if the full hike is passed on.
