In the context of California’s energy sector, “PG&E rate increase 2025” refers to the projected increase in electricity rates for customers of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) in the year 2025.
This increase is driven by a combination of factors, including ongoing wildfire mitigation efforts, investments in renewable energy infrastructure, and rising costs of grid maintenance. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is responsible for reviewing and approving PG&E’s rate increase proposals to ensure that they are fair and reasonable for both customers and the utility.
