Lower Electric Rates Promote Clean Electrification of Households

Affordable electricity empowers more Californians to choose clean energy solutions, like EVs and heat pumps. In fact, a 10% rate cut could boost demand for clean energy by 24%.

Lawmakers Have Proposed Summer-Only Rate Cuts, Which Won’t Protect Our Environment

This year California lawmakers have introduced legislation to lower rates in summer only. However, seasonal-only rates would do little or nothing to lower air pollution or greenhouse gas emissions by promoting clean electrification.

Summer-only Rate Reductions Could Harm Disadvantaged Communities

Lowering rates in summer only could inadvertently promote the use of costly and polluting “peaker” power plants at times when the grid is most stressed, leading to increased air pollution in nearby communities.

Ask Your Legislators to Promote Electrification with Year-Round Rate Reductions

Ask your representatives to amend proposed legislation to lower rates year-round for Californians. We don’t want to miss the opportunity to speed up clean electrification, lower costs, and protect our climate.
