The proposed charges will vary based on income. There will be four income brackets that have varying charges associated with them.
- Low-income customers can expect to pay as little as $15, and no greater than $30
- Moderate-income customers would pay about $51
- The highest fixed charge, for customers in the top 25% of earners, would be about $92.
The proposal would reduce charges for low income and disadvantaged customers who need the most help; this represents approximately 30% of PG&E's customers.
