Summary: State-mandated program fees, which add nearly 37% to the average Californian’s electricity bill, are unfair and inequitable. These fees fund programs like rooftop solar subsidies, bill discounts for low-income customers, and energy efficiency programs, but disproportionately burden renters, low-income families, and those who cannot afford solar. Lawmakers should consider removing these costly mandates to lower electric bills and improve affordability.
