Term definitions
Generation Rate is the cost of creating electricity to power your home. 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 home. The PG&E delivery rate depends on your electricity usage, but is charged equally to both SCP and PG&E customers.
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 Franchise Fee (FF) surcharge, which is levied by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) 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 current available vintage year. PG&E charges SCP customers the PCIA and FF fees based on the year they transitioned to SCP service. Visit sonomacleanpower.org for more information.
