California Electric Companies Propose Higher Earners Pay Greater Fees Than Lower Earners

California's three major electric utility companies have proposed a fixed-rate billing plan that would charge higher fees to high-income households and lower fees to low-income households. The proposal, backed by Democratic policies, is aimed at funding the state's energy infrastructure and providing bill relief to customers in need. However, critics argue that this plan unfairly burdens wealthier households and represents another instance of wealth redistribution in the state.
