The State of California tries to get everyone to file a tax return, whether required to or not. At many a board meeting, the income tax agency has complained that they cannot get people to file a tax return if they don't make enough money to be required to file. I believe that this new rate scheme is a ploy by the State of California to force low-income people to file a tax return in order to qualify for the lowest rates. And by driving up the prices now, everyone will be clamoring to get in on the lowest rates once the new rate scheme is rolled out.
Pretty soon they are going to change the payment for electricity to be based on income, not usage: https://freebeacon.com/california/newsom-stands-by-equitable-electricity-bills-as-opposition-builds/

Yea, we see this coming, but it’s getting worse as all the “rich” people switch to solar & battery to get off the grid. They’re in a death spiral now.
