The California Public Utilities Commission
(CPUC) today received the results of the independent evaluation of

identified multiple factors that appeared to contribute to the
escalation of Smart Meter-related high bill complaints, including
PG&E's customer service practices. Full Story from the California Public Utilities Commission
