PG&E Customers in Northern and Central California to See Changes in Electricity Bills Starting in March - Cozzy Energy Solutions
In an effort to accelerate California's transition to clean energy, Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) is introducing a new "base services charge" starting in March, which will affect electricity bills across Northern and Central California. This re-categorization of existing charges aims to reduce the cost of electricity itself, with the potential to lower rates by 5-7 cents per kilowatt hour. The impact on individual bills varies, with low-income customers potentially seeing lower overall bills, while others may experience a slight increase; however, PG&E's goal is to incentivize the adoption of electric appliances and vehicles in line with California's decarbonization goals.
