SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Your electric bill could increase another $6 a month by the end of the year.

PG&E is proposing another rate hike because it’s still recovering from the winter storms between 2022 and 2023.

The utility spent nearly $950 million when the storms knocked out power for millions of Californians.

The CPUC is expected to vote on Sept. 12.
