There’s good financial news for California households! This October, over 11.5 million homes will automatically get money back on their electricity bills through the California Climate Credit program.
Every spring and fall, millions of California residents receive the California Climate Credit on their electric and natural gas bills. Since it launched in 2014, the program has already put more than $14.6 billion back into the pockets of California utility customers, according to the governor’s office.
Why do Californians get this refund?
The California Climate Credit is part of California’s efforts to fight climate change. It is designed to give households their share of savings from a state program aimed at cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Who is receiving the refund?
The California Climate Credit applies to customers of PG&E, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Gas Company, and Southwest Gas.
How much will refunds be?
Refunds range from $35 to $259, with most families seeing a credit of $56 to $81 this month. A similar refund was already given out in the spring, and this is the second round of savings for the year.
