Rate Comparison with 4% rate increase
* Average rates based on estimated usage for each class of service, including surcharges. Average rates are provided for general reference. Individual customer's average rate will depend on
customer’s applicable kw and kwh.
** This comparison does not factor in the additional user tax charge levied in most PG&E service jurisdictions (typically 5%). Santa Clara customers are not charged these additional fees.
