Percentage of Income Plan

Thank you for your interest in participating in the PIPP Pilot. The PIPP Pilot has reached maximum capacity and is now CLOSED. SCE has other Income Qualified Programs that could assist you with lowering your monthly energy bill.

We are dedicated to providing reliable and affordable electricity service to our customers. As part of this commitment, we are introducing a new pilot program designed to make household energy more affordable and predictable. Our four-year Percentage of Income Payment Plan (PIPP) pilot enables qualified customers to receive electricity bills for the same total each month, not including taxes or fees. If eligible, your monthly bill will be fixed at a low amount of either $33 or $100 and is subject to change on a yearly basis.¹

Who can participate?

If we identified you as possibly qualified for PIPP, we may have already sent you an introductory letter or email. You may be eligible if you are enrolled in our California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program and have had two or more service disconnections between March 2019 and February 2020, or if you live in an area identified as having a high number of recurring disconnections. Because this is a pilot program, participation is limited.

Which fixed monthly bill payment amount could you receive?

To see if you qualify for the $33 monthly payment, please see the 2025-2026 Federal Poverty Guidelines (FPG) Household Income chart below. If your income exceeds the household income limit, you may still be eligible for the $100 monthly payment.

What happens after I apply?

If you apply online, we will send you an email confirming we’ve received your completed application. We will also send all applicants (online, mail, and phone) application status update letters. If the pilot becomes full, we may place you on a waitlist and contact you if there is a future opening.

If you successfully enroll and qualify for the $33 monthly bill payment amount, we may ask you to provide proof of income within 90 days. Otherwise, we will assign the $100 payment amount (if you apply for that amount, you are subject to the existing CARE post-enrollment verification process).

Once your enrollment is complete, we will send you a program welcome letter and you will start enjoying the benefits of a predictable, fixed monthly energy bill.

PIPP Pilot Frequently Asked Questions

PIPP Pilot FAQ

我是否需要重新認證收入比例付款計劃（PIPP）？

是的，您需要完成加州能源優惠計劃（CARE）的收入驗證／重新認證程序。如欲瞭解詳細資訊，請造訪我們的 CARE 註冊後驗證網頁。

如果我符合 CARE 資格是因為參加了經核准的公共補助計畫（例如 CalFresh、LIHEAP、Medicaid/Medi-Cal 等），是否就會自動符合 PIPP 試辦計畫的資格？

不是的，PIPP 的資格是根據家庭收入判定的。如果你是因參加經核准的公共補助計畫而符合 CARE 費率資格，但家庭收入超過聯邦貧窮線 (FPL) 200%，則不符合 PIPP 試辦計畫的資格。

淨計量電價 (NEM) 客戶是否有資格參加 PIPP？

不，NEM 客戶不符合參加 PIPP 試點計劃的資格。如果客戶在參加 PIPP 後再申請 NEM 費率方案，則該客戶將被移出 PIPP。

直接購入（DA）客戶是否符合參與 PIPP 的資格？

不，直接購入（DA）客戶不符合 PIPP 試點計劃的資格。

我沒有 SmartMeter，符合申請 PIPP 的資格嗎？

不符合，沒有 SmartMeter 的客戶不符合參加 PIPP 試點計劃的資格。

Are master metered customers eligible for PIPP?

No, master-metered operators such as mobile home parks and their sub-metered tenants are not eligible to participate in the PIPP pilot

如果我透過社區選擇聯合購電 (Community Choice Aggregator，CCA) 接受服務，是否可以參加 PIPP？

只要其 CCA 參與試點計劃，用戶即可參與 PIPP。SCE 服務區域內的下列 CCA 正參與 PIPP 試點計劃：

潔淨電力聯盟 (Clean Power Alliance，CPA)
蘋果谷能源選擇 (Apple Valley Choice Energy，AVCE)
蘭開斯特選擇能源（LCE）
Pico Rivera 創新市政能源（PRIME）
波莫納能源選擇 (Pomona Choice Energy，PCE)
蘭喬米拉奇能源管理局 (Rancho Mirage Energy Authority，RMEA)
聖哈辛托電力 (SJPO)
中央海岸社區能源（CCCE）

若參與試點計畫之 PIPP 用戶後來由未參與試點計畫的 CCA 登記使用 CCA 服務，則該用戶將會從 PIPP 試點計畫移出。

我被移出 PIPP 後，是否有資格重新申請 PIPP？

可以，前提是滿足所有其他資格要求。

我目前與 SCE 有付款安排。若我參加 PIPP，原本的付款安排會怎麼處理？

若已有付款安排，在參加 PIPP 後，仍須按原付款安排繼續支付每月約定的金額。這筆費用將另外加在您的每月電費帳單上。

我目前參加欠款管理計畫 (Arrearage Management Plan，簡稱 AMP)。如果我加入 PIPP，會影響我在 AMP 的資格嗎？

客戶可以同時參加 AMP 與 PIPP。

如果我的 CARE 資格遭取消，我的 PIPP 加入進度會怎麼樣？

如果將客戶從 CARE 中移除，則該客戶也將從 PIPP 中移除。

如果我搬家，我參加的 PIPP 會如何？

如果參加 PIPP 試辦計畫的客戶在終止原服務地址的電力服務後 30 天內，於 SCE 或參與試辦計畫的 CCA 服務區內的新地址重新啟用電力服務，SCE 將會自動將該客戶的 PIPP 試辦計畫參與狀態轉移至新地址。

若客戶未在 30 天內重新啟用服務，或搬離 SCE 或參與試辦計畫的 CCA 服務區，該客戶將會被移出 PIPP。

我想申請參加 PIPP，但我已參加另一項 SCE 試點計畫。我該如何取消參加其他試點計畫，以利符合參加 PIPP 的資格？

未參與其他試點計畫的用戶才符合 PIPP 試點計劃參與資格

若您參加了省電獎勵計畫，即面向住宅用戶的試點緊急負載減少計畫 (ELRP)，則可以按此取消參加省電獎勵計畫。若申請 PIPP 成功並參加 PIPP 試點，則您會取消參加省電獎勵計畫。

我已參加預算計費計劃（BBP）。我有資格參加 PIPP 嗎？
