Programs built to make home energy more affordable.

The Rate Schedule Change will adjust the rate, and in some cases even the frequency of your billing cycle. This means that you will see a minor reduction in your price/kwh as well as a monthly billing cycle instead of a bi-monthly cycle.

The Fixed Flat Rate will take your two historical usage average, and reduce the bill anywhere from 10-30%, and keep you on a fixed rate. Your bill will not go up or down, but stay at a single fixed price. This allows for much more control and predictability in your bills as well as a reduced cost.

The California Energy Innovation Ecosystem is a statewide initiative of the California Energy Commission that connects clean energy entrepreneurs with the funding, training, resources, and expertise needed to help turn technologies and concepts into products that benefit consumers, companies, and utilities.

The Energy Commission is ensuring all Californians benefit from clean energy research. It has set a goal to have 25 percent of EPIC technology and deployment funds allocated to sites with low income, and benefiting, disadvantaged communities.

Low-income customers that are enrolled in the CARE program receive a 30-35 percent discount on their electric bill and a 20 percent discount on their natural gas bill.

GoGreen Home Energy Financing was designed to help California homeowners and renters access affordable financing for energy efficiency projects. Owners of any residential property are eligible for GoGreen Home, as renters are at the discretion of the lender and with the property owner’s permission.

The Renewables Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires California to procure a portion of their electricity sales from renewable sources. The Energy Commission certifies facilities that generate renewable energy

The Power Savers Program is a program for residential customers who have eligible smart thermostats connected to their air conditioning.

The Sun Renewable Program turns your home into a power producing utility hub by adding in solar panels and offers the highest savings available. This means that your electric dependence on the utility company will be eliminated, and you will own and create your own energy with a significantly lower monthly cost. The benefit is that instead of “renting” out their power from the utility companies. You are paying yourself and owning your own power, allowing you to sell power back to the utility. This is a $0 out of pocket program.

If your bi-monthly bill consistently has Tier 3 usage then you may be a good candidate for the TOU rate. Time-of-Use (TOU) rates are based on the time of day and season that you use electricity.

The Consumer Rebate Program (CRP) is available to our residential customers in an effort to promote the use of energy-efficient products. This program is designed to both educate and encourage residential customers to purchase and install qualifying products in their home.

Families whose household income slightly exceeds the CARE allowances will qualify to receive FERA discounts, which will then apply a 18% discount on their electricity bill. FERA is available for customers of Southern California Edison, San Diego Gas and Electric Company, and Pacific Gas and Electric Company.
