Recent revisions to income guidelines under the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program released yesterday (June 3) could make it easier for many borderline applicants to qualify for a 20 percent discount on utility bills.
Under the old guidelines, which are revised annually, single-person households with an annual income under $22,340 and four-person families with an income of $46,100 or less qualified to apply for the discount. Adjustments to the income guidelines now allow for an individual making $22,980 or less to participate, with an additional $8,040 allowance for each household member.
San Diego Gas & Electric provides an online form customers can complete to apply for the CARE program. Further discounts are available for those using medical equipment that impacts their energy usage. SDG&E says the average participant in the program can expect to save $275 per year in utility bills.
