OUR RATES ARE CHANGING OCTOBER 1, 2026

Throughout the year, we submit requests to the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) to change our rates. These requests must be approved by the CPUC. Changes to our rates may cause your monthly electricity bill to increase or decrease.

Current Average Residential Rate: 34.4 cents per kWh (33.2 cents per kWh w/Climate Credit)  
New Average Residential Rate: 34.5 cents per kWh (33.3 cents per kWh w/Climate Credit)

The October 1, 2026, rate change is the net result of the Woolsey Fire revenue increases offset by decreases to various other items collected in electricity rates as described below:

  • Implementation of SCE’s 2025 General Rate Case (GRC) Phase 2 updates the distribution of costs amongst all rate groups, along with the design of rates to recover these costs approved in Decision 26-04-033. Although the total amount SCE collects is decreasing, this implementation shifts a modestly greater share of those costs to residential customers. As a result, residential rates will increase beginning October 1.
  • An increase of $49.674 million to recover restoration-related costs associated with the Woolsey Fire. This implementation results in an increase for all customers.  
  • An increase of $140.110 million in rates for recovery bonds issued to finance our wildfire claims-related costs associated with the Woolsey Fire.
  • An increase of $59.682 million for the implementation of the 2022 Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Review, reflecting the recovery of various memorandum accounts. (Decision 26-01-003).  
  • A decrease of $0.246 million for the return of an overcollection recorded in the Affiliate Transfer Fee Memorandum Account (ATFMA) approved in the 2023 ERRA Review (Decision 26-04-006) and Advice 5807-E.
  • Removal of $628.062 million from rates for costs that have been fully recovered from customers which results in a decrease for all customers.
