Bill Credit
Since power plants often use natural gas to produce electricity, SDG&E’s electric rates are largely determined based on a forecast of natural gas prices. During the first half of 2010 natural gas prices were lower than the forecasted price. As a result, SDG&E® has received approval from the California Public Utilities Commission to refund the difference by providing customers with a bill credit.
When will the credit be issued?
The credit will appear as a separate line item on electric bills beginning September 1, 2010 and will be provided to all customers that purchased electricity from SDG&E during the 12-month period beginning August 2009 and ending July 2010.
How much will the credit be?
Since the credit will be based on the amount of electricity, in kilowatt-hours (kWh), you purchased from SDG&E during the specified time period, the amount of each customer’s credit will vary. The table below provides some estimates of credit amounts at different usage levels.
