Soaring prices for natural gas and this winter’s icy blasts have jolted unsuspecting PG&E customers with brutal — and fast-rising — monthly utility bills.
“I almost fell over when I got my bill,” said Nicole Murray, of Pleasanton, California, who was astounded at the total for PG&E gas and electricity services. “It was horrifying.”
For years, Murray said her PG&E bill typically ranged from $300 to $400 a month. Starting late in 2022 and so far in 2023, her PG&E bill is closer to $800 a month.
