Southern California Edison offers rebate program for income-qualified customers
Southern California Edison offers three programs for individuals or households to aid them in paying their electric bill. Households qualify based on combined income.
CARE/FERA Program
The California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program offers income-qualified customers a discount of 20 percent or more off their monthly electric bill.
If the CARE program is not right for your family, you may qualify for the Family Electric Rate Assistance program (FERA). This plan offers a discounted rate on your monthly SCE bill for families of three or more who fall within the income guidelines and exceed their baseline usage by 30 percent or more.
Energy Management Assistance
The Energy Management Assistance (EMA) program helps income-qualified households conserve energy and reduce their electricity costs. SCE pays all the costs of purchasing and installing energy-efficient appliances and equipment, which are free to eligible customers.
Who Qualifies for EMA Services?
To qualify for EMA services, an SCE customer must:
- - Receive electric service through a residential electric meter in SCE's service territory
- - Have an SCE service account, or be sub-metered under a master-meter SCE account
Measures are available to both homeowners and renters. Renters must obtain the homeowner's permission. Customers may only receive EMA services once every ten (10) years.
The Energy Assistance Fund
The Energy Assistance Fund (EAF)/Rate Relief Assistance Program is designed to help SCE residential customers in need pay their electric bills. A maximum of $150 is available to qualified customers once in a 12-month period.
How Can Customers Get Assistance?
To receive assistance, a customer must make a request through a community-based agency. Additionally, an SCE customer must meet the following requirements in order to receive Rate Relief assistance. The maximum assistance amount is up to $150.00, based on actual amount owed:
- - The SCE bill must be in the name of the customer seeking assistance
- - The address on the bill must be the customer's primary residence
