OAKLAND, Calif. — Higher monthly bills might jolt PG&E customers due to the utility’s request that state regulators allow the company to collect more revenue for its spending linked to wildfires and catastrophes.
PG&E wants to recover costs that arose from its expenditures for the mitigation of wildfires and dealing with certain catastrophes, according to recent state and regulatory filings.
Oakland-based PG&E is attempting to recover $1.36 billion in costs, filings with the state Public Utilities Commission and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission show.
