Why is SCE requesting this rate increase?
SCE delivers your electricity. Every four years, SCE must file what is known as a “General Rate Case” (GRC) application with the CPUC. GRCs set rates that customers pay to fund SCE’s day-to-day operations, including maintenance for its equipment and electricity grid upgrades. The purpose of this GRC is for SCE to cover its anticipated costs from 2021 through 2024 for its employees to inspect, repair, and, when appropriate, upgrade poles, transformers and distribution lines. This includes reducing wildfire risk and upkeeping the safety of the grid.
How could this affect my monthly bill? If SCE’s rate request is approved by the CPUC, the average residential monthly bill would increase by approximately $14 in 2021, $4 in 2022 and $6 in 2023. The impacts will be less for lower-income residential customers enrolled in the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program: $9.50 in 2021, $3 in 2022, and $4 in 2023.
Looks like my Palomar installed solar will be paid off sooner!
