Pacific Gas and Electric Co. will host a virtual town hall for North Coast residents this Wednesday evening to discuss proposed rate hikes.

On Nov. 2, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is expected to vote on two rate proposals submitted by PG&E, a part of the state’s once-every-four-years review of the utility provider. One proposal seeks to increase PG&E’s revenue by 13 percent, which would increase monthly power bills by an estimated $28 per month on average by 2026, according to the Associated Press. The second would increase the company’s revenue by 9 percent, resulting in a $24 monthly increase.

Members of the public will have a chance to ask PG&E officials questions about the proposed rate hikes and other regional news during tonight’s meeting. More information can be found below.
