Rate Realities

Real electricity savings require tough choices, not political posturing and risky policies that will increase costs, jeopardize safety, and reliability.

It's unfair to make electric customers pay for state mandates and programs through their electricity bill. Lawmakers can lower electric bills by cutting or scaling back these mandates, or finding alternative ways to pay for them. #RateRealities https://t.co/ZdtKKPczkK

State lawmakers must face #RateRealities. State mandates and public purpose programs add nearly 37% to the average residential customer’s electricity bill. Learn More: https://t.co/xoGYqfMHm6

Did you know that state mandates and public purpose programs add nearly 37% to the average residential customer’s electric bill. That’s over $820 per year. #RateRealities. https://t.co/IpijZipLJf

#CALeg continues to propose costly proposals such as government-controlled operation of the electric system and restricting investments in reliability. Misguided legislation increases electricity rates and threatens investments in reliability, wildfire prevention and clean energy.

In addition to the solar cost shift, bill discounts for low-income customers, paying for energy efficiency programs, subsidies to upgrade school air conditioning and plumbing, wildfire prevention efforts, to name a few—all add hundreds to customer electric bills. #RateRealities

California lawmakers need to cut costly mandates and stop passing legislation that drives up utility infrastructure costs and customer electric bills, argues a new op-ed published today by @CalMatters

📃A recent analysis from @californiapuc found that customers without rooftop solar pay $8.5B every year on their electric bills—subsidizing customers who have rooftop solar systems. This adds an extra $440 annually to every non-solar customer’s bill—primarily low-income families, seniors and renters.

CalChamber announced the next phases of the “Rate Realities” campaign, calling on lawmakers to get serious about affordability, cut costly mandates, and stop passing legislation that drives up utility infrastructure costs and customer electric bills.

“We agree with the Legislature in its focus on electricity affordability,” said CalChamber President and CEO @CalChamberJen. “The fastest way to bring down electricity bills is to cut or find alternative funding for costly state mandates that are adding 37% to the average customer’s bill. What’s more, legislators must stop passing misguided and risky proposals that actually increase customer bills.”

Real electricity savings require tough choices—not risky, costly and untested policies. Lawmakers should pursue thoughtful reforms that protect customers and strengthen California’s energy future. #CALeg

There’s a right and wrong way to address electricity affordability. Risky and costly “affordability” proposals will only increase your electricity bill, undermine reliable power, and put critical priorities like wildfire mitigation and clean energy at risk.

[Rate Realities @RateRealities]

California state politicians claim they want to make electricity more affordable; the reality is they’re advancing complex and risky proposals – hundreds of pages long – that would only drive-up costs and make our electric system less reliable.

[Rate Realities @RateRealities]

California state politicians say they want to lower electricity costs. But they’re proposing hundreds of pages of complex and risky legislation that would raise your electricity bill even more while jeopardizing system reliability.

[Rate Realities @RateRealities]

There are tough but effective solutions CA lawmakers can support to address electricity affordability. Instead, current proposals pursue risky policies that will increase bills while jeopardizing reliable power & wildfire mitigation. #RateRealities FACTS: https://t.co/aN8tpIkxJB
