Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA)

The PCIA (Power Charge Indifference Adjustment) is not a new charge. 可持续发展目标的所有客户&E’s service territory have been paying the PCIA to cover the costs of older long-term energy contracts. The PCIA just used to be lumped in with other charges rather than called out as a separate line item on the energy bill.

The California Public Utilities Commission required a separate line item on the bill for the PCIA charge as a way to raise awareness that all customers are responsible for paying for the costs of legacy contracts.  As of November 1, 2021, all customers’ bills include a PCIA line item.

The PCIA is now listed as a separate line item on everyone’s bill, not just the bills of 社区 Choice Aggregation customers and Direct Access customers. 

The PCIA is a charge to ensure that all customers (regardless of who procures energy on their behalf) pay their fair share of legacy contract costs. 西班牙&E entered into energy contracts on behalf of their customers based on their needs at the time. Even though many customers have since transitioned to CCAs for their commodity service, 西班牙&E is still responsible for paying for the costs of the contracts.
