SACRAMENTO<\/strong> \u2013\u00a0\u00a0Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced millions of Californians will receive an average of $137 in credits on their April gas and electric bills. The California Climate Credit \u2013 automatically applied to Californians\u2019 bills every April and October \u2013 is a direct result of the state\u2019s nation-leading Cap-and-Trade climate program that requires polluters to pay for\u00a0climate action<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since 2014, California households have already received an average of $1,120 in combined automatic April and October climate credits on their utility bills.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery year, our Cap-and-Trade program provides essential funding to California\u2019s efforts to clean the air while also giving residents money back on their utility bills. Millions of California families will benefit from this relief.\u201d<\/h4>\n

Since 2014, the state\u2019s Cap-and-Trade program has delivered $10.9 billion in bill credits back to utility customers. This year, California will provide a total of $2.4 billion in residential credits \u2013 $1.4 billion for electric customers, $1 billion for natural gas customers, and an additional $122 million for small businesses.<\/p>\n

\n

How it works<\/h2>\n

The credits range from $35 to $259 for electricity bills \u2013 with most set to receive $56 to $81 \u2013 and approximately $54 to $87 on natural gas bills for residential customers of PG&E, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Gas Company, and Southwest Gas. Californians can\u00a0check how much their credit will be here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Californians do not need to do anything to get the credit. The California Climate Credit comes from the State\u2019s Cap-and-Trade Program managed by the California Air Resources Board. The credit on utility bills represents the consumer\u2019s share of the payments from the State\u2019s program.<\/p>\n

In addition to utility bill credits, California\u2019s Cap-and-Trade program has funded\u00a0$28 billion in climate investments<\/a>\u00a0delivering more than half a million projects across the state, supporting 30,000 jobs and cutting millions of tons of carbon emissions. The investments include a wide range of solutions such as putting affordable housing near job centers, building the nation\u2019s first high-speed rail, and adding zero-emission transportation options in underserved communities.<\/p>\n
