SDG&E Raising Rates.

San Diego Gas & Electric Co. is petioning the PUC to end a rate freeze that covers about 70% of its customers. The company says the cap is unfair to large customers and it discourages energy conservation. (Yeah, I'm sure that's it...)

Specicially, SDG&E is proposing to raise rates for typical customers next year by about $5 monthly, or nearly triple the increase the utility anticipated seeking late last year.

The Union Trib has the story, read all about it.
