Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC Request to Increase Electric Rates
APPLICATION [A.24-09-010]
Why am I receiving this notice?
On September 20, 2024, Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC (Liberty) filed its 2025 General
Rate Case (GRC) (A.24-09-010) with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). This
GRC covers revenue for 2025, 2026 and 2027. Liberty requests a total revenue increase of
$39.773 million, or 19.1%, over currently authorized revenues.
If the CPUC approves this application, Liberty will recover forecasted costs in electric rates over
a three-year period beginning January 1, 2025. This will impact your monthly bill.
Why is Liberty requesting this rate increase?
Liberty is requesting a revenue increase for the following reasons:
• To continue operating and maintaining its distribution system to deliver safe and reliable
electric service to Liberty’s customers;
• To continue implementing its wildfire mitigation plan to help reduce the risk of wildfires in
Liberty’s service territory; and
• To maintain sufficient staffing to continue providing safe, reliable, and responsive service
to Liberty customers.
How could this affect my monthly electric rates?
If Liberty’s rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average residential winter monthly bill
using 628 kWh would increase by approximately $39 or 18.6% per month beginning in 2025. The
average residential summer monthly bill using 467 kWh would increase by approximately $36 or
22.6% per month.
How does the rest of this process work?
This application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge, who will consider proposals
and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The Administrative Law Judge
will issue a proposed decision that may adopt Liberty’s application, modify it, or deny it. Any
CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed
decision, and any alternate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners
at a public CPUC Voting Meeting.
Parties to the proceeding may review Liberty’s application, including the Public Advocates Office.
The Public Advocates Office is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents
customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe
service levels. For more information about the Public Advocates Office, please call 1-415-703-
1584, email PublicAdvocatesOffice@cpuc.ca.gov, or visit PublicAdvocates.cpuc.ca.gov.
