Ken Wilson had been trying to conserve electricity in order to lower his utility bill, but it was still stubbornly high

PG&E says it won’t change until next cycle? Because why? It’s their fucking system. It’s not like they don’t have access to change things. It’s not in their policy? They’d have to do a little extra work to figure it out?

Fuck PG&E

Question they don’t answer: is he going to get a refund, or nah?

It’s PG&E, so they said that he’s still on the hook for this months billing cycle. Starting next month though, he’ll be billed correctly, hopefully.

I meant refund for last 15 years. I have a feeling PG&E will find a loophole.

I know what you meant and what they should do, I was just repeating what they actually did so far.

Honestly the probably don’t even have to. In my experience, they tell you to fuck off because anyone who actually notices the price of the power bill isn’t wealthy enough to sue.

Refund? No way, power company doesn’t care you don’t notice. Likely will be pushed along to court

Who was paying his bill? His neighbor? Article doesn’t say.

When we were renovating our apartment, we found one of the neighbors outlet connected to our fusebox. Originally it was a company owned building for employees to rent, so nobody gave a shit about how the utilities were connected.
