San Diego committee advances plan to explore public utility replacing SDG&E
San Diego City Council committee moves forward with resolution to study replacing SDG&E with a nonprofit public utility amid local rate hike concerns.
A committee of the San Diego City Council has advanced a resolution to explore the possibility of replacing San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) with a nonprofit, publicly owned utility, FOX 5 San Diego reported.
The resolution aims to study the feasibility and potential benefits of transitioning to a public utility model for electricity services in San Diego.
Meanwhile, officials in nearby Chula Vista expressed opposition to a proposed 8.6% rate increase by SDG&E, highlighting concerns over rising energy costs in the region.
The committee's advancement of the resolution marks a significant step toward considering alternatives to the current utility provider, reflecting local interest in public ownership of energy services.
