PG&E: Tips for Managing Your Energy Bills and Saving Money!

As we spend more time at home these days, now is a great time to see if you qualify for energy discount or assistance programs and pick the best electric rate plan for your needs. Every household is unique, and so is the way they use energy. Here are some ways you can take advantage of programs, tools and more to help you save money during this holiday season!

Reduce monthly bills with CARE or FERA
PG&E provides income-qualified assistance programs for customers who need it the most, because sometimes customers need energy bill guidance. CARE and FERA programs offer income-qualified households a significant monthly discount on energy bills. Find out if you are eligible for CARE or FERA at pge.com/carefera. For the CARE or FERA program call 1-866-743-2273.

Energy Savings Assistance program
If you live in a house, apartment, or mobile home that is five years or older, you could receive free improvements to make your home more energy efficient, safe and comfortable. Both renters and owners are eligible. Find out if you’re income-qualified at pge.com/esa.

Medical Baseline program
If someone in your home depends on life-support or other equipment due to medical needs, you may be eligible for additional energy at the lowest price through the Medical Baseline program. You will also receive extra notifications in advance of a Public Safety Power Shutoff. Find more information at pge.com/medicalbaseline.

These Customer Care Programs are essential for all PG&E customers in California. Make sure to take a quick look to see if you or someone in your household can qualify for any of the programs listed above. Remember that a little help can go a long way.
