California E&S Insurance

Customers would pay the flat rate plus an an average of 27 cents per kilowatt-hour of electricity used, compared to the current average of 47 cents per KWh. The utility said a middle-income customer who currently pays $188 for 400 kilowatt hours at 47 cents per KWh would instead pay a fixed price of $73 plus $108 for the actual electricity used at 27 cents per KWh, saving $7 per month. A middle-income customer using 600 kilowatt hours would see a bigger decrease, from the current $282 to $235. The actual rate paid per kilowatt hour would vary based on whether the power is from SDG&E or one of the community choice aggregations. “We want the CCAs to grow,” said Crider. SDG&E expects most low- and middle-income customers to save under the plan, with higher income customers benefitting as they transition to all-electric homes and cars. Crider said the proposed rate structure would be simpler, more transparent and more predictable for residential customers than the current system. He said SDG&E would not ask customers for information about their income, but instead rely on the state of California to provide classification. Utility officials also said customers who have installed solar panels would continue to benefit financially and pay lower bills than if they did not have solar. State law requires the Public Utilities Commission to adopt a new electric rate structure no later than July 1, 2024
