California Public Utilities Commission announces climate credit for fall electric bills

FRESNO, California — You might see some relief on your electricity bill this month.

The California Public Utilities Commission announced the amounts of its semi-annual California Climate Credit.

PG&E customers will receive $55.17, SoCal Edison customers will receive $86, San Diego Gas and Electric customers will receive $78.22, Bear Valley customers will receive $32.24, Liberty customers will receive $131, 01 and Pacific Power customers will receive $174.25.

The state’s cap-and-trade program funds the credits and will be automatically applied to customers’ bills.

Climate Credits are issued every fall and every spring. The spring credit is larger because it includes an annual payment for natural gas and a semi-annual payment for electricity, while the fall credit, which was just announced, only includes the payment for electricity .
