A report by the California Public Utilities Commission's Division of Ratepayer Advocates, a division of the PUC that represents interests of ratepayers, indicates that at the major state utilities, service disconnections for lower-income households rose 19% last year (Sept. '08-Sept. '09). That increase is disturbing, said the division. San Diego Gas & Electric's disconnects to lower-income households rose only 4% during the period. SDGE's total residential disconnect rate was lower than the national average.
