SCE Launches Customer Enrollment Drive for Medical Baseline Program
April 27, 2021 GMT
ROSEMEAD, Calif. (BUSINESS WIRE) Apr 27, 2021
Southern California Edison is encouraging more eligible customers to take part in the utility’s Medical Baseline program, which can provide more resiliency and support, especially during critical times.
The program supports customers who rely on power for medical needs by delivering additional electricity at the lowest price per day, which can help them save on their overall energy bill. It covers a variety of devices and equipment requiring power that help customers thrive, including but not limited to, power wheelchairs and scooters, respirators, breathing machines and dialysis machines.
Dive Brief:
Pacific Gas & Electric’s (PG&E) bid to securitize $7.5 billion in costs associated with the 2017 wildfires in its service territory could hit ratepayers hard, consumer advocates are warning state regulators.
PG&E has proposed creating a customer credit trust to offset additional charges that customers could face if the securitization is approved. But modeling from ratepayer group The Utility Reform Network (TURN) suggests that there is a 40% chance that trust will have a shortfall as opposed to PG&E’s estimate of 16% in which case ratepayers would be on the hook for an average of nearly $2 billion, under TURN s modeling.
