Starting in March 2026, PG&E will restructure energy bills by separating the costs of some services from the price per kilowatt hour (kWh) of electricity usage. This change, called Base Services Charge, will lower the price per kWh, making it more affordable to transition to clean-powered electric appliances. Most customers will pay around $24 per month, while those on certain income‑qualified programs will pay approximately $6 - $12 per month. Read more here. |
