That’s right. If you’re a California homeowner, your utility is jacking up your electric bills to maximize their profits — and the government is approving these rate increases.
PG&E’s profits have gone up three years in a row. Their profits hit a record of $2.5 billion in 2024. All because of steadily increasing electric rates and continued over-investment in expensive utility infrastructure.
It’s a little-known fact that utilities like PG&E get a guaranteed 10-12% return on all of their assets — including power plants, poles, even their fancy office buildings. They then get to increase electric rates every year to ensure they hit these profit targets.
I wish I ran a business where I could automatically raise my prices to guarantee 10-12% annual profits. And my customers were forced to buy my products because I have a monopoly with no competition. Nice work if you can get it.
But there is a way to fight back and take control of your energy costs: generate your own rooftop solar power and store it in your own battery. In this week’s Energy Show, we break down:
⚡️ Why your rates are rising 8-10% per year (and won’t stop anytime soon)
⚡️ How utilities are gaming the system with political donations and shady regulations
⚡️ What the Solar Rights Alliance wants you to know about this rigged game
⚡️ How rooftop solar + batteries can make you nearly energy independent
⚡️ Why PG&E hates when you install solar—and how to beat them at their own game
⚡️ Why now is the time to install solar—before summer spikes and tax credits disappear
With the 30% solar tax credit ending on 12/31/25, now is the best time to install solar and storage.
Tune into this week’s Energy Show at www.energyshow.biz for the facts that utilities don’t want you to hear — as well as money saving options to keep a lid on your energy costs.
