Bill > SB00896

This bill proposes to amend existing statutes by establishing a monthly cap on the Combined Public Benefits Charge (PBC) for electric distribution company customers. Specifically, the bill limits the PBC to no more than forty-five dollars per month for each end-use customer. The Combined Public Benefits Charge is typically a fee added to electricity bills that helps fund energy efficiency programs, renewable energy development, and low-income energy assistance initiatives. By setting a maximum monthly charge, the bill aims to provide financial predictability and potentially reduce the cost burden on electricity consumers, ensuring that no customer will be required to pay more than $45 per month for these public benefits-related fees.
