What makes the situation in Ukiah different from areas served by PG&E?
The City of Ukiah provides electricity to customers through its municipally owned utility, a department of the City of Ukiah. In 1996, the California legislature voted to deregulate the state’s electric power providers. However, municipally owned utilities such as ours were not required to participate in deregulation. Ukiah’s City Council chose not to subject its utility customers to the fluctuations of the open market for electric power by participating in deregulation.
