Public Power San Diego

SDG&E has significantly raised our energy rates since taking SD’s power franchise in June. SDG&E says they are “required” to raise our rates. This is a LIE, or a deliberately deceptive truth. SD law does NOT require a rate increase. SDG&E’s greed DOES. #sdge #SanDiego

Thanks to all the volunteers who attended today’s @SDCityCouncil Rules Committee meeting to speak in support of a public power utility for @CityofSanDiego like the ones in other cities in California. There were many excellent comments today that can be viewed here in support of @PublicPowerSD Get more information and sign the petition at publicpowersd.org sandiego.granicus.com/player/clip/88…

No savings with SDCP? SDGE profits from infrastructure affecting your bill. SDCP only manages buying/producing electricity. Back the Power San Diego Initiative for a nonprofit utility owning infrastructure, targeting lower rates & clean energy. #WeArePowerSanDiego

See you in HillCrest on Sunday folks.

Despite our moderate weather: San Diegans pay the highest electricity rates in the nation! Support @PublicPowerSD - help create a new publicly owned system, where residents pay much lower rates. Signing the #PublicPower petition will help end this investor owned monopoly that’s been gouging #sandiego ratepayers for over 50 years. More information here: publicpowersd.org

@LindiaL @jim_desmond A community-owned non-profit wouldn’t make $3million/day in net profit and would put money toward modernizing the grid and infrastructure, and not beholding to shareholders nor the CPUC.

@PublicPowerSD @jim_desmond Community Power will only save us $2 per month... not much savings from SDG&E

People have put their life savings into solar, so they can lower their bill. Now CPUC tell them they'll have to pay anyway. 🤯

@LindiaL @jim_desmond Wrong, San Diego community power only deals with acquiring electricity for their customers, SDG&E make all of their profit on transmission and delivery, the largest part is your bill.

SDGE makes $3million/day in net profit for their shareholders and executives off the backs of SD ratepayers. It also supports Sempra’s fracked natural gas business, counter to the City’s and County’s Climate Action Plans.

@markalan1967 @jim_desmond And they’re making $3million/day in net profit for their shareholders and executives on the backs of SD ratepayers.

@jim_desmond Sempra gives ridiculous sums to politicians to insulate themselves from accountability. They make the bills ridiculously hard to decipher and then use a lot of non speak to justify exorbitant hikes. And CPUC always sides with Sempra (see natural gas rip-off).

@jim_desmond SDGE extracts $3million/day in net profit from their service area (mostly SD City and County).

@jim_desmond This is why the BOS need to advocate for a community-owned, independently operated, non-profit public utility for San Diego County. The investor-owned utilities only care about profit for their shareholders, not the ratepayers of San Diego.
