About Our Rates

EBCE’s electricity rates are set through a transparent public process and approved by the EBCE Board of Directors.

As an EBCE customer, your rates are calculated based on 1) which rate schedule and programs you are on with PG&E (e.g. residential, Time-of-Use, Electric Vehicle, CARE, Medical Baseline) and 2) which service level you choose from EBCE Bright Choice or Renewable 100). Your PG&E rate schedule and discount programs automatically apply to your EBCE service.

• To compare service plans, visit our residential plans and business plans pages.
• For questions about your PG&E bill, visit our Understand Your Bill page or contact us.

Time of Use (TOU)

TOU rates vary according to the time of day, season, and day type (weekday or weekend/holiday). EBCE has the same time-of-use rates as PG&E, and EBCE will place you on those rates automatically based on the rate schedule you have with PG&E. Learn more here.

Discount Rates

If you receive a low-income discount on your electricity bill through the CARE, FERA, or Medical Baseline Allowance programs, that discount will automatically continue to apply as an EBCE customer.

Net Energy Metering

EBCE customers that generate electricity at their home or business and are approved for interconnection by PG&E will be automatically enrolled in EBCE’s NEM program.

Electric Vehicles (EVs)

EBCE offers the same EV rates as PG&E, and is developing EV incentives that complement the other available rates and tax incentives. EBCE customers are eligible for the same EV rebates from PG&E as non-EBCE customers.
