Rhode Island Residents Protest Energy Company Over High Delivery Fees and Lack of Transparency

A group of protesters gathered outside the Rhode Island Public Utilities Commission on Saturday afternoon to demand transparency from Rhode Island Energy. Central Falls City Council member Laurilim Rosado stated that families are in need and deserve respect, calling for answers and accountability from the energy provider. Protesters allege that delivery fees often exceed the actual cost of electricity consumed by families. Rosado highlighted instances where families pay $50-$60 for energy but face delivery fees of $70 or more. She shared her personal struggle with these fees, having to choose between feeding her family and paying the electric bill. Rosado also mentioned her mother, who relies on an oxygen machine, had her power disconnected after falling two months behind on payments due to high delivery charges.

PG Seeks Legislation to Cap Wildfire Payouts, Potentially Increasing Customer Bills

PG Seeks Legislation to Cap Wildfire Payouts, Potentially Increasing Customer Bills

California's largest utilities, including PG&E, San Diego Gas & Electric, and Southern California Edison, are proposing legislation that would cap shareholder payouts for wildfire damages, even in cases of utility negligence. Under this proposal, the maximum amount shareholders would be required to pay would be one-fifth of each company's transmission and distribution equity rate base. For PG&E, this limit would be $5.1 billion. Any costs exceeding these shareholder caps would be recouped through higher electricity bills for customers. The proposed legislation also seeks to make this shareholder cap permanent, removing its current expiration trigger, which is the exhaustion of California's $21 billion wildfire fund and an additional $18 billion reserve. This move follows the January 2025 Eaton fire, which left thousands homeless and prompted utilities to seek greater financial protections. Consumer Watchdog President Jamie Court has argued that these proposed protections would diminish incentives for utili...

We Energies Rate Hike Approved by Wisconsin Regulators, Customers to See Bill Increases

We Energies Rate Hike Approved by Wisconsin Regulators, Customers to See Bill Increases

We Energies customers in Wisconsin are set to experience an increase in their electricity bills starting in 2027, following the approval of a rate hike by the Public Service Commission. The decision was made after an extended meeting, with the approved increase being lower than the utility's initial proposal. We Energies stated that the additional revenue is necessary to fund new solar and wind energy projects, infrastructure upgrades, and to cover rising operational costs. Community members and clean energy advocates have voiced concerns that these rising utility costs are outpacing household wages. While the exact increase amount will be finalized in the coming weeks, We Energies maintains that its typical customer bills will remain below the national average and in line with other Midwest customers.
