Soaring prices for natural gas and this winter’s icy blasts have jolted bewildered PG&E customers with fast-rising monthly utility bills.
Soaring prices for natural gas and this winter’s icy blasts have jolted unsuspecting PG&E customers with brutal — and fast-rising — monthly utility bills.
“The natural gas costs are really high, but just in California and on the West Coast,” said Severin Borenstein, director of UC Berkeley’s Energy Institute at Haas. “In the rest of the U.S., natural gas has become cheap, very cheap.” The Bay Area’s recent frigid weather, punctuated this month by unusual snow storms, also has contributed to the jump in PG&E bills.
Oakland-based PG&E also appears to have harvested a big increase in revenue from recent gas operations. “PG&E doesn’t control the market prices for natural gas,” said Lynsey Paulo, a PG&E spokesperson. “We don’t mark up the price. From November through January, our natural gas market prices were extremely high, in some cases, six times higher than the U.S. benchmark.”
