Californians pay more than double the national average for electricity, with rate increases far exceeding inflation, according to the Public Advocates office, which operates within the state’s public utility commission representing the interests of utility customers. Now, state regulators will decide Nov. 16 if the price should increase further for some.

Such will affect the ability of some to provide for their families following annual increases of five to 10 percent since 2013, experts suggested.
