UNDERSTANDING YOUR ENERGY CHOICE
 *This compares electricity costs for an average small commercial customer in the Pioneer/PG&E service area (Placer County, El Dorado County, Grass Valley, and Nevada City) with an average monthly usage of 1,057 kilowatt-hours (kWh). This is based on a representative 12-month billing history for all customers on B-1 rate schedules for PG&E’s and Pioneer’s published rates as of June 1, 2024.
Generation Rate is the cost of creating electricity to power your business. The generation rate varies based on your energy provider and the resources included in your energy provider’s generation supply.
PG&E Delivery Rate is a charge assessed by PG&E to deliver electricity to your business. The PG&E delivery rate depends on your electricity usage, but is charged equally to both Pioneer and PG&E customers.
PG&E PCIA/FF The PCIA is a charge to ensure that both PG&E customers and those who have left PG&E service to purchase electricity from other providers pay the above market costs for generation resources that were procured by PG&E on their behalf. “Above market” refers to expenditures for electric generation resources that cannot be fully recovered through sales of these resources at current market prices. PG&E acts as a collection agent for the FF surcharge, which is levied by the California Public Utilities Commission on behalf of cities and counties in PG&E’s service territory for all customers. PG&E bundled customers pay the PCIA and FF fees associated with the most currently available vintage year. PG&E charges Pioneer customers the PCIA and FF fees based on the year that they transitioned to Pioneer service. Visit pioneercommunityenergy.org for more information.
