Rate Breakdown

How do your total rates break down

Total electric costs on your bill are broken down into three different categories: Utility Distribution Company, Electric Energy Commodity Costs, Department of Water Resources Bond Charges.

The costs in these categories added together make up the total electric rates applied to each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of electricity you use.

Utility Distribution Company (UDC)

Your primary residential service schedule which covers costs associated with the distribution of electricity and providing electric service to customers.

Electric Energy Commodity Costs (EECC)

The charge for electricity provided.

Department of Water Resources Bond Charge (DWR-BC)

This charge covers the repayment of bonds issued by the California Department of Water Resources (DWR) to cover their costs in purchasing energy for California customers.
