从2026年4月开始,圣迭戈天然气和电力用户在三年内每月平均将增加5美元的账单,由加利福尼亚公用事业委员会批准,自2007年以来将回收60亿美元的野火预防费用。 Starting April 2026, San Diego Gas & Electric customers will see an average monthly bill increase of $5 for three years, approved by the California Public Utilities Commission to recover $6 billion in wildfire prevention costs since 2007. 这些资金用于支付电网加固、植被管理和技术升级的费用,尽管所要求支出的约4.5亿美元被视为不合理和排除在外。 The funds cover grid hardening, vegetation management, and technology upgrades, though about $450 million in requested expenses were deemed unreasonable and excluded. 在野火风险上升和公众对水电费的担忧下,提高费率支持正在进行的安全举措。 The rate hike supports ongoing safety initiatives amid rising wildfire risks and public concern over utility costs.
