SCE Brings Customers 2026 Bill Relief with California Climate Credit, Lower Rates<\/b><\/p>\n

A $72 summer credit and an average rate decrease of 4.3% help ease electricity costs.<\/i><\/p>\n

ROSEMEAD, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE<\/a>)–
\nMillions of Southern California Edison customers are receiving a combined $72 credit on their summer electricity bills, applied automatically during August and September when energy use is high.<\/p>\n

\nNo action is required to receive the climate credit, which the California Public Utilities Commission shifted to peak summer months this year to help provide bill relief when it\u2019s needed most.<\/p>\n

\nThe credit adds to a year of savings for SCE customers, with rates down an average of 4.3% so far in 2026 compared to last December. A further decrease is expected later this year.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe know families and businesses are facing higher costs for everyday essentials,\u201d said SCE President and CEO Steve Powell. \u201cThe climate credit provides direct savings on summer bills and, together with lower electricity rates this year, helps make energy more affordable for customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nSeveral factors contributed to lower rates in 2026, including updates to how past energy costs are shared between customers and the removal of other charges from rates.<\/p>\n

\nSCE expects future rate updates to track at or below local inflation on average through 2030. As more homes and businesses use electricity, fixed costs can be spread across greater energy consumption, helping keep future rate increases in check.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cWe work every day to help customers save on their electric bills while investing in a more reliable, resilient grid,\u201d said Powell.<\/p>\n

Delivering Savings Throughout the Year<\/b><\/p>\n

\nSCE continues to help customers manage costs<\/a> with energy savings programs, bill assistance, rebates and tools that make it easier to use energy efficiently:<\/p>\n
