L.A. Department of Water and Power ratepayers facing a bigger possible surcharge

The L.A. Times reports:

Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's political team has spent the last two months talking up the need for the Department of Water and Power to adopt a so-called carbon surcharge, one that would require ratepayers to pay more to cover the cost of renewable energy.

Now, that proposal has been incorporated into a larger increase, which would also force DWP customers to pay more to cover the cost of fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, which generate much of the utility's electricity.
