|Despite the pushback, Mr. Newsom’s office says the governor will not abandon the income-based plan.

Governor Newsom is defending his administration’s implementation of a more “equitable” household utility fee scheme that will be based not on usage, but on the household’s annual income. The California proposal, which was born out of a green energy bill passed by the state legislature in 2022, is facing pushback from some of the most liberal members of Mr. Newsom’s party as it appears to punish working class and middle class families, while also hindering the development of solar energy.
