As in many other Californian communities, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), the local power utility, had installed smart meters in most households. Soon afterwards customers started complaining about rocketing power bills. For some people they almost trebled. Predictably, this caused a political storm. Local politicians and consumer groups jumped on the issue. Enterprising lawyers launched a class-action suit. PG&E admitted that some of its meters had technical problems, but the higher bills were clearly due to a combination of exceptionally hot weather, increased charges and changes in the rate structure.
