On December 15, 2022, PG&E filed its 2022 WMCE application with the CPUC. The application requests $1.4 billion to recover costs recorded in various balancing and memorandum accounts. The application seeks interim rate relief of 85% ($1.1 billion) to be recovered over 12 months beginning June 1, 2023, for electric distribution only. The remaining 15% ($224.4 million), would be recovered over the subsequent 12 months, with the exception of the capital revenue requirement which would extend through 2026. WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE INCREASE? Costs in this application include those related to wildfire mitigation activities, including Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS) planning and execution, and vegetation management. In addition, this application includes temporary generation to support customers. Also included in this application are costs related to PG&E's response to the continued COVID-19 pandemic and other catastrophic events, as well as various customer-related initiatives and rate issues. HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY ELECTRIC RATES? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PG&E, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. PG&E is proposing to recover electric costs over a three-year period beginning June 2023. In the first year, the bill for a typical residential customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $167.23 to $175.90, or 5.2% compared to current bills. In the second year, the bill for a typical residential customer would Increase $1.49 or 0.9% compared to current bills in the third year, the bill for a typical residential customer would increase $0.12 or 0.1% compared to current bills. Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers receive electric transmission and distribution services and select Commission-ordered services from PG&E. If this application is approved, on average rates for services provided by PG&E to these customers would increase by 9.7% compared to current rates in the first year, 1.7% compared to current rates in the second year, and 0.1% compared to current rates in the third year. DA providers and CCAS set their own generation rates. Check with your DA provider or CCA to learn how this would impact your overall bil. Another category of nonbundled customers is other Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. On average, these customers would see an increase of 2.8% compared to present rates in the first year, 0.5% compared to present rates in the second year, and 0.04% compared to present rates in the third year. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY GAS RATES? Bundled gas customers receive transmission, distribution and procurement services from PG&E. PG&E is proposing to recover gas costs over a one-year period beginning June 2024. Detailed rate information is being sent directly to customers in a bill insert. Based on rates currently in effect, the bill for a typical residential customer averaging 33 therms per month would increase from $70,42 to $70.51, or 0.1%. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK? This application will be assigned to a CPUC Administrative Law Judge who will consider proposals and evidence presented during the formal hearing process. The Administrative Law Judge will issue a proposed decision that may adopt PG&E's application, modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an alternate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any altermate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting. Parties to the proceeding may review PG&E's application, including the Public Advocates Office. The Public Advocates Office is an independent consumer advocate within the CPUC that represents customers to obtain the lowest possible rate for service consistent with reliable and safe service levels.
