Fellow Californians,

It isn’t likely that California will experience blackouts. Due to pandemic planning efforts, California’s utilities have undergone drills to ensure they can keep the electricity and gas running in the event of crises like this. It is always important that we work together and use energy efficiently.

These actions will help you to use energy more efficiently, which may help you to reduce your overall electricity and heating/cooling costs. For more information on billing impacts, please contact your local energy provider (or use the energy provider finder below).

Please visit your specific utility’s webpage for more specific information about protections and benefits available to you (or use the energy provider finder below). The electric and natural gas investor owned utilities, CCAs and publicly owned utilities are offering customers the opportunity to create flexible payment plans if financial hardship is a challenge.

You may qualify for existing bill support programs based on your income or if you have a qualifying medical condition. Please reach out to your utility provider directly (or use the energy provider finder below) to learn about your payment options.

All electric and natural gas investor owned utilities, CCAs and publicly owned utilities are suspending service disconnections due to non-payment for residential customers until further notice. Please visit your specific utility’s webpage (or use the energy provider finder below) for more specific information about protections and benefits available to you.
