Hot temperatures during the summer months can bring higher electric
bills. We want you to know that we offer a variety of programs, tools
and rebates to help you take control of your energy usage and manage
your summer bill. Here are some tips and recommendations to help you get
started.
1. CARE and FERA:
If you need help paying your
monthly electric bill, look into the California Alternative Rates for
Energy (CARE) and the Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) programs.
If you qualify, you could receive up to a 30 percent discount off your
monthly bill. Visit our website or call us at 1-800-798-5723 for more information and program enrollment.
2. Budget Assistant:
Managing your energy spending is simple with our free* and easy to use Budget Assistant tool. Just sign up
and enter your monthly spending goal. We’ll track your usage online in
close to real-time and send you alerts via email, phone or text when we
forecast that your next bill is expected to exceed your goal. Budget Assistant
allows you to make the changes necessary to stay within your “spending
limit” each month. *Service is free, but you may incur fees for voice or
text alerts as applicable through your mobile service provider.
3. Save Power Days:
You
can earn up to $100 when you reduce your energy use from 2 p.m. to 6
p.m. when a Save Power Day is called. Save Power Days will only be
called on weekdays, typically up to 12 days a year. Enroll today and you
can get alerts on when a Save Power Day is called. Click here or call 1-800-799-4209 to learn more about opting in for alerts, and how the bill credits are calculated.
4. Payment Arrangements:
Need more time to pay your electric bill? You may be eligible for an online payment arrangement
through My Account. Log in now to set up your payment arrangement.
Please note that you’ll need to have a balance due in order to set up a
payment arrangement.
5. Medical Baseline:
If you or
someone who lives with you full-time has a medical condition that
requires electricity-powered life support equipment, you may be eligible
to receive additional baseline
allocation. You can apply for additional kWh if you have a hardship and need more. Please note that certification by a doctor is required.
