“The momentum behind utility accountability legislation continues to grow."
Can we have this for CA please?

No because the CA CPUC is partially funded by the utilities themselves.
How the CPUC is funded:
-
Public Goods Charge (PGC): Consumers pay this charge on their electricity bills to fund energy efficiency, renewable technologies, and public interest research.
-
Gas Surcharge: This surcharge funds energy efficiency and other public purpose programs.
-
EPIC Program: This program is funded by California Utilities such as PG&E, So. Cal. Edison and SDG&E.
The utilities wouldn’t be interested in that, so neither are the CPUC members who are on their payroll.
