Not only does SDG&E have the highest electricity rate in the 48 states, on January 1st, one of the coldest of the year, our gas bills will go double, with a 100% increase in natural gas cost.
Last month, my bill was $332 which was about the same as last December, except we had used 29% less gas. I can't have an over $600 bill, so I'll need to turn off the heat and get out my parka.
Time to load up wood for the fireplace!
Just last month, natural gas cost $2.55 a therm for SDG&E customers, according to the utility. As recently as June 2021, when natural gas is cheaper in summer, a therm cost just 40 cents, according to SDG&E.
The increase means residents who had a peak winter gas bill of about $105 last January can expect the January 2023 bill to be around $225.
