The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) is evaluating a SoCalGas rate change request of 19% in 2019 followed by increases of 8.1% in 2020, 6.1% in 2021 and 6.0% in 2022. City Council has has stated its opposition to this increase in a June 16, 2018 letter to the CPUC.

If approved, the average customer using 35 therms per month would initially see a $7.01 monthly increase, which would rise in subsequent years. There is no date set for the the CPUC to hear this request.
