Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:39:03 GMT

OAKLAND — During a delay ahead of a state panel’s vote to unleash higher monthly PG&E bills, the utility leviathan quietly lobbied regulators about plans that may enrich shareholders as customers endure higher rates.The state Public Utilities Commission is scheduled to make a final decision on Nov. 16 regarding PG&E’s general rate case by reviewing multiple scenarios for changes in customer monthly bills.The grim reality: The two main alternative proposals that the PUC is considering — as well as potential tweaks to these primary scenarios — all lead to big increases in monthly bills for PG&E customers.One option that the PUC is considering would increase bills for the average residential customer who receives combined electric and gas services from PG&E by $31.13 a month. Electric bills would jump by $22.37 a month while natural gas bills would increase by $8.76 a month.An alternate proposal that is being floated would increase average ...

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 15:39:03 GMT

Last season, the Hotline published weekly ‘Best of the West’ power ratings that considered not only Pac-12 teams but those in the Mountain West and Brigham Young. The exercise was so popular that we’re adding a MW-specific column to our array of offerings this season.Boise State and San Diego State make two. Will there be others?The Mountain West coaching carousel began spinning Sunday morning when Boise State announced the dismissal of  third-year coach Andy Avalos … with the Broncos smack in the middle of the conference championship race.San Diego State followed with news of its own on Monday morning, announcing that 65-year-old coach Brady Hoke would retire at the end of the season — a classy way for Hoke to end his career without the Aztecs having to execute a public termination.So two of the 12 schools have vacancies, and we believe there will be more.Nevada and New Mexico could make changes, as well.And there’s always a chance of one or more coaches leaving v...

The title of general manager doesn’t completely capture the many tasks on Danielle Marmer’s to-do list in the two months since taking over the Professional Women’s Hockey League franchise in Boston.“It’s funny you should mention that,” Marmer said with a laugh. “I just came from the carpentry shop where I was looking at what our locker stalls are going to be like, and making decisions on where we want the hooks to be, how many shelves — things I’m not an expert in.”She’s not complaining. At 29, Marmer and her fellow GMs are on the ground floor of a newly established six-team league that will feature many of the world’s top players when it begins play in January.“Like it’s pretty cool to say that I have my fingerprints on not only building the team itself, but the building of the locker room, the offices, the players’ lounge,” Marmer said.Though the teams have yet to be officially named and the schedule yet to be released, piece by piece the PWHL is coming together.
