A proposal by the California Public Utilities Commission would reduce the price of residential electricity for Californians.
The proposal includes a flat rate of $24.15 per month, “which would reduce the price of a unit of electricity for all customers by 5 to 7 cents per kilowatt-hour,” according to a press release from CPUC.
Customers enrolled in the California Alternate Rates for Energy, however, could see a flat rate of $6 per month while customers in the Family Electric Rate Assistance Program could get a flat rate of $12 per month.
“Currently, all customers already pay for maintaining the electric grid through their electricity bills. This is factored into the price you pay for the electricity you use,” CPUC officials said in the press release.
If approved, it could go into effect in late 2025, early 2026.
