About 1 in 5 San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) residential customers are a month or more behind on their electric bills, according to an SDG&E report filed last month.
The average customer is now paying about $185 per month for their bill. Less than two decades ago, it would have cost under $20 to use the same amount of energy, adjusted for inflation.
Rising bills can force tough trade-offs to keep the lights on.
Has your SDG&E bill been going up? Are you having to make sacrifices in other areas, like grocery budgets or medicine, to pay it?
We want to hear from you: What other expenses have you cut to pay for electricity? How have rising rates impacted your household? Are you behind on payments?
