OUR RATES ARE CHANGING JUNE 1, 2026

The June 1, 2026, rate decrease is the net result of the 2026 Wildfire Liability Self-Insurance revenue increase offset by decreases to various other items collected in electricity rates as described below:

  • An increase of $380.690 million in approved revenue to fund wildfire liability self-insurance for 2026, approved in Advice Letter 5760-E.
  • A decrease of $214.456 million in rates to support various programs including Energy Efficiency, Tariff On-Bill Pilot, Electric Program Investment Charge, and Demand Response Flex Alert.
  • A decrease of $73.437 million in rates for the implementation of the 2023 Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Review, reflecting the recovery and refund of various memorandum accounts. (Decision 26-04-006).
  • Removal of $34.699 million from rates for restoration-related costs associated with the 2017 Thomas Fire. This implementation results in a decrease for all customers.
  • Adjustment to transmission rates governed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) associated with accessing the California Independent System Operator (CAISO) controlled grid. This rate adjustment resulted in a decrease in transmission rates totaling $84.468 million.
