PacifiCorp, a Berkshire Hathaway-owned utility, requested a $103.4 million rate increase from California regulators, potentially raising electricity bills by 57% for about 46,000 rural customers starting January 2027. The hike is driven by wildfire prevention costs, higher insurance premiums, and inflation, reflecting investments made since 2022. PacifiCorp's credit rating has dropped close to junk status due to wildfire liabilities and cash flow issues, prompting Berkshire to reduce dividends and capital spending. Regulators may approve a smaller increase, and the situation highlights financial strain within Berkshire's energy segment, though California represents a small part of Berkshire's overall business.
