SDG&E customers pay the highest rates in the nation. Attorney Mike Aguirre describes how the City of San Diego can get out of the franchise agreement with SDG&E. Full story:
SAN DIEGO – As KUSI has reported, a new study found San Diego to be the least affordable city to live in, surpassing both San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Two major components that led to this are San Diego’s gas prices, and SDG&E having the most expensive electricity rates in the entire country.But back in March of last year, Mayor Todd Gloria was touting the deal he made with SDG&E, saying it would be “a better deal for the city and for ratepayers.”Gloria’s office told KUSI News they have “no jurisdiction over those rates,” but our viewers tell KUSI they want to see Mayor Gloria do something.
“We have the ability to pull the plug on SDG&E because SDG&E has to have a franchise to use the streets and the underground of the City of San Diego to deliver their electricity,” said Aguirre. Aguirre elaborated that his team has a lawsuit challenging the awarding of the franchise to SDG&E because it was done behind closed doors and in violation of California’s open meeting law.
