In January 2013, SBUA filed as a party before the California Public Utilities Commission to intervene on Pacific Gas & Electric’s (PG&E) request for rate increases related to its Electric Distribution, Gas Distribution, and Electric Generation operations. SBUA is intervening to ensure that (1) rate increases do not disproportionately affect small businesses and (2) the collected revenues are fairly allocated to include benefits for small businesses. SBUA is advocating, for example, that revenues be used in part to improve services (like generation interconnection) for small renewable energy companies.
