How will the California Climate Credit impact my bill?

As a valued SCE customer, it's essential to stay informed about your billing cycle, projected costs, and any credits or adjustments that may affect your monthly bill. Below is a guide to help you interpret your Aprill bill projections with ease.

Reviewing April Bill Projections

When reviewing your bill projections for April, keep in mind that the Projected Next Bill (PNB) cost projections will likely be lower due to the California Climate Credit that is applied during this cycle.

It's important to note that in some cases, your Usage As Of date cost will display higher than your Projected Bill. That is due to the climate credit applying only to your Projected Bill cost, and not your Usage As Of date cost. SCE is aware of this discrepancy and working to resolve the variance, although SCE can confirm that the climate credit will be applied to all applicable accounts once your bill period has ended.

What is the California Climate Credit?

The California Climate Credit is a bi-annual credit provided by the state of California to combat climate change. It's available to both residential and small business customers.

This credit is intended to assist utility customers during the transition to a low-carbon future. You can expect your bill projections to be lower than usual during the months of April and October due to climate credit being applied.

How Much is the Credit?

The exact amount of the climate credit may vary based on your usage and other factors. For further details regarding this credit, visit CPUC's Climate Credit Page or CPUC's Small Business Climate Credit Page.

When to Expect Normalization

Customers can anticipate the bill projections will normalize starting May’s billing period.
