Households, businesses, and schools would have had at least $174.5 million more in their collective pockets over the past decade if South San Joaquin Irrigation District had been the retail power provider in Manteca, Ripon, and Escalon instead of PG&E. That figure, according to SSJID General Manager Peter Reitkerk, was from an exhaustive analysis based on PG&E rates in 2015.
