What this means is that the bill will allow the Public Utilities commission to consider many factors, including weather, utility company effort to prevent fires and mismanagement \u2013 to determine if the utility company can pass the costs to consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, PG&amp;E has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.\u00a0 However, business as usual is what is on the books for the utility.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Changes in Legislation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_1087\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\"

that utility companies are liable for damage caused by their equipment, even if they followed all safety procedures.\u00a0 Utility companies have historically been required to shoulder the burden of the costs associated with fires.<\/p>\n<p>New legislation changes that.\u00a0 New legislation means that the costs may be passed on to the consumer.\u00a0 If PG&amp;E is blamed for both the 2017 and the 2018 fires, customers can expect to see a surcharge on their bill for at least the next 20 years.\u00a0 The total cost consumers will pay is unknown.\u00a0 First, we do not know which fires will be blamed on the utility company.\u00a0 Second, with the current fires still burning in California, we do not even know the extent of the damage.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Solar Still is Best For

company.\u00a0 Although there is not a direct cost that we can attribute to this newly signed bill, we can expect that there will be an increase in the cost of doing business with the utility.\u00a0 Now is the time to learn how solar can help you control the costs of your energy use.\u00a0 Plus, the added benefit of reducing greenhouse emissions can not be underestimated.\u00a0 Clean air \u2013 clean energy \u2013 and owning your own power is the benefit of going solar.\u00a0 Reach out today to learn how you can go solar today.<\/p>\n<h3>Here are some articles you may find
