Community Renewables Credits per ($/kWh)

Class Average Generation Credit

The amount credited reflects the average cost that you would have paid for generation if you did not participate in the Community Renewables program. This is an average cost per kWh.

Solar Value Adjustment (Time of Delivery Adjustment)

Solar energy that is purchased is delivered during the day, but most people tend to use more energy at night when prices are higher. This adjustment accounts for the difference.

Renewable Power Rate

The Renewable Power Rate ($ per kWh) is the Community Renewables (CR) Contract Price included in the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for a specific CR facility. This charge is always offset to $0.00 since the PPA requires that the Developer allow the CR Contract Price payment for energy related to subscribed capacity to be assigned to the Customer based on the Customer’s Subscription.

CAISO Grid and WREGIS Charges

CAISO grid management charges include energy usage, energy transmission, and reliability service costs and charges that are allocated by the independent system operator. These charges also include market services, system operations and congestion revenue rights service charges and costs, as well as eligible intermittent resources forecast fee. The WREGIS charges are based on fees assessed by that system for registration, tracking and retirement of renewable energy credits associated with generation used to serve Community Renewables participants.

Resource Adequacy

This adjustment ensures that there are sufficient generating resources and margin available for anticipated system and local customer demand. This adjustment also accounts for the value associated with the power supplied by the Community Renewables facilities.

Renewables Integration Cost

The Renewable Integration Charge includes costs associated with integrating new renewable resources with the grid. The charge is currently $0.

Program Administration Charge

This is the additional per customer cost that we incur to run the Community Renewables Program.

Marketing, Education, and Outreach Charge

The per customer cost of promoting and educating participants and potential participants about the Community Renewables Program.

Indifference Adjustment

The Indifference Adjustment is a rate component intended to ensure that Community Renewables Program participants pay for the above-market costs of resources procured on their behalf prior to participating in the Community Renewables Program, and to prevent customers not participating in the Community Renewables Program from subsidizing participants. The Indifference Adjustment is made up of the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment and the Competition Transition Charge. Based on the date you begin to receive service under the Community Renewables program, you are assigned a particular year, or “vintage”. The vintage will remain constant for as long as you participate in the program. Even if you move, you will retain your same vintage at your new location (provided you move within our service territory and choose to continue participating in the Community Renewables program when establishing your new service account). The Indifference Adjustment vintage is updated annually on July 1. If you sign up prior to July 1, you will be placed on the previous year’s vintage. After July 1, you will be placed on this year’s vintage. Therefore, if you enroll in Community Renewables effective June 1, 2023, you will be on the 2022 vintage. For more details on these components, please view the latest version in Schedule CCA-CRS.

"CRF Spec" stands for "Community Renewable Facility Specific." Actual Resource Adequacy (RA) Adjustment charges and Time-of-Delivery (TOD) Adjustment credits would be dependent and specific on the operating characteristics of the Community Renewable Facility. Estimates of RA Adjustment charges and TOD adjustment credits can be obtained by using proxies from 20-year forecasts of rate components of Schedule GTSR - Green Rate (GR).

The 20-year forecast of credits and charges shown here are based on a methodology ordered by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) for use by the state’s three large investor-owned utilities. The forecasts are provided to illustrate potential future changes to the credits and charges to help you evaluate your intended participation in the GTSR program. As the CPUC acknowledged in D.16-05-006, an estimate of GTSR credits and charges for 20 years (or even 5 to 10 years) is challenging and unlikely to be accurate. Moreover, the 20-year forecasts shown here are not necessarily representative of SCE-specific forecasts of rate components. SCE can neither predict nor guarantee any actual cost savings or increases due to changes to these credits and charges, and such changes will affect actual costs. Please contact SCE for more information about this forecast. If you have a SCE account representative, please contact your SCE account representative for more information about this forecast or your available rate options.
