On May 2, 2022, PGSE filed its Demand Response application with the CPUC covering the years 2023 through 2027. The application proposes to collect $70.9 milion in rates in 2023 and subsequently collect $199.9 milion in rates each year over a four-year period from 2024 to 2027. Demand Response programs included in this application increase electric reliability and provide options for customers to control their energy bills. WHY IS PGSE REQUESTING THIS RATE CHANGE? The CPUC requires all major electric utities to file an application to authorize and fund demand response programs. The goal of these programs is to incentivize electric customers to reduce usage during periods of relatively high demand or high prices. Funding for these programs is scheduled to end and the proposals included in this application are to continue provided demand response programs for customers. HOW COULD THIS AFFECT MY MONTHLY ELECTRIC RATES? Many customers receive bundled electric service from PGSE, meaning they receive electric generation, transmission and distribution services. A summary of the proposed rate impact for these customers was sent directy to customers in a bill insert. The bil for a typical residential customer using 500 KWh per month would increase from $165.35 to $167.21, or 1.1%. Direct Access and Community Choice Aggregation customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. On average, rates for services provided by PGSE to these customers would increase by 1.7% if this application is approved. DA providers and CCAS set their own generation rates. Check with your DA provider or CCA to leam how this would impact your overall bil. Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PGSE. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. On average, existing Departing Load customers would see a rate increase of 0.6%. Actual impacts will vary depending on usage and are subject to CPUC regulatory approval. HOW DOES THE REST OF THIS PROCESS WORK? This application willbe assigned to a CPUCAdministrative 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 PGSE's application, modify it, or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an altemate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any altemate decisions, will be discussed and voted upon by the CPUC Commissioners at a public CPUC Voting Meeting. Parties to the proceding may review PGSES 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.
