On July 28, 2023, PG&E filed its Energy Resource Recovery Account (ERRA) Trigger Mechanism Application with the CPUC. The ERRA is used to record fuel costs needed to produce electricity as well as buying electricity from third parties to serve customers. The application seeks to recover the actual recorded ERRA Trigger balance as of September 2023, up to a cap of $256 million, which is based on PG&E's current forecast. If approved, it will be recovered over a six-month period beginning in November 2023. However, the actual amount recovered will depend both on what the CPUC approves as well as the final balance upon implementation. WHY IS PG&E REQUESTING THIS RATE CHANGE? The application is being filed because as of this past June, the difference between costs and revenue exceeded the state's threshold and an expedited application is required to address forecast variances that exceed a certain threshold and will not self-correct in 120 days. This difference is primarily driven by two factors. First, unusually high market price volatility this past winter caused electricity costs to be much higher than expected. Second, customer electricity demand has been much lower than expected through the first half of the year, which has led to less than is needed to cover certain costs that PG&E incurs as part of providing reliable generation service to customers. The combined impact of these factors has led PG&E to file an application to recover these additional costs from customers as is required by the state. The costs will be recovered through the generation portion of customer bills. This part of the bill reflects actual costs and does not include any markup for profit or retum. Come with the Public Code Section 45 530 was CPUC decision 0.02-10-062008-08-011 and 22-01-02 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. Detailed rate information will be sent directly to customers in a bill insert. The bill for a typical bundled residential customer using 500 kWh per month would increase from $187.74 to $199.43 or 6.2% compared to rates currently in effect. Direct Access (DA) and Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) customers only receive electric transmission and distribution services from PG&E. Rates for these customers will not change if PG&E's request is approved. Another category of nonbundled customers is Departing Load. These customers do not receive electric generation, transmission or distribution services from PG&E. However, these customers are required to pay certain charges by law or CPUC decision. Rates for these customers will not change if PG&E's request is approved. For all customer classes, actual impacts will vary depending on usage and final CPUC decision. 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, modity it or deny it. Any CPUC Commissioner may sponsor an altemate decision with a different outcome. The proposed decision, and any alternate 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.
