SCE Customers Getting Bill Relief in Coming Weeks<\/b><\/p>\n

Annual bill credits coming one month sooner; Demand Response program participants also receiving $111 million for reducing energy usage during high-heat events<\/b><\/p>\n

ROSEMEAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nSouthern California Edison is accelerating efforts to help customers navigate energy bill increases this year. SCE\u2019s 5 million-plus residential and small business customers will receive the first of two California Climate Credits<\/a> on their SCE bill a month early, in their March billing cycle. The first credit from this state program is typically issued each spring, but this year, SCE is pushing up its schedule to help customers whose bills are affected by the dramatic rise in natural gas prices that began late last year.\n<\/p>\n

\nSCE\u2019s second California Climate Credit remains scheduled for fall. Each of this year\u2019s credits for eligible SCE customers is $71, totaling $142 in rebates. Funding for the California Climate Credit comes from the state\u2019s Greenhouse Gas Cap and Trade Program<\/a>, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from power plants, natural gas distributors and other large industries. The California Public Utilities Commission recently directed utilities to accelerate distribution of the spring climate credits.\n<\/p>\n

\nIn addition, almost 1.9 million SCE customers will receive a bill credit averaging between $40-$60 on their February or March bills, rewarding them for last year\u2019s participation in the Power Saver Rewards<\/a> program. Business customers who participated in the Emergency Load Reduction Program<\/a> (the nonresidential counterpart to Power Saver Rewards) will receive credits averaging more than $2,000.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe programs are examples of Demand Response<\/a>, in which participating customers lower their energy usage \u2014 either manually or by an automated device \u2014 during a designated \u201cevent.\u201d Some Demand Response programs provide customers day-ahead warnings of events so they can prepare as needed.\n<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThese bill credits come at a great time for SCE customers who are managing their way through rising costs of all kinds,\u201d said Lisa D. Cagnolatti, SCE\u2019s senior vice president of Customer Service. \u201cOur Demand Response programs in particular give customers an opportunity for bill savings while also helping to stabilize the electric grid when it\u2019s needed the most.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\nBy reducing their energy use when the electric grid was under extreme stress, these program participants helped California avoid rotating outages during last year\u2019s heat wave and will now receive a welcome reduction on their energy bill. SCE is issuing $111 million in bill credits to the program participants, who will be notified via U.S. mail and email.\n<\/p>\n

\nDuring last year\u2019s heat wave from Aug. 31 to Sept. 9, the California Independent System Operator called 10 consecutive daily events (either a CAISO-issued Flex Alert, Emergency Alert Watch or Emergency Alert). SCE customers who were enrolled in Power Saver Rewards and the Emergency Load Reduction Program scaled back their energy use between 4-9 p.m. during these events for an estimated total reduction of more than 236 megawatts.\n<\/p>\n

\nThese bill credits are the latest in a series of SCE efforts to help customers with their energy bills; in January, SCE issued $218 million in bill credits to nearly 348,000 customers<\/a> who qualified for the California Arrearage Payment Program. SCE also increased the maximum one-time grant from its nonprofit Energy Assistance Fund<\/a> from $100 to $200 (and from $200 to $300 for all-electric homes) as of Jan. 1.\n<\/p>\n
