September 8, 2025 - WASHINGTON– Last week, Rep. Josh Harder (CA-09) reintroduced his Stop the Rate Hikes Act to 
stop PG&E from constantly raising bills on Valley families. The bill limits utilities to one rate hike per year, giving customers long-overdue relief.
“Families here in the Valley can’t afford this insanity. The average bill is now $300 a month, and PG&E keeps demanding more and more money,” said Rep. Harder. PG&E has to be held accountable, now. My bill will put a stop to these rate hikes and give families the stability they deserve.”
Rep. Harder has heard from countless families across San Joaquin County who are struggling with skyrocketing PG&E bills. In 2023, he introduced a bill to prevent utility companies from price-gouging families during emergencies. In 2022, he introduced legislation to block PG&E from giving massive bonuses to executives and to ensure that money is invested in infrastructure instead.
