SOUTHLAND – (INT) – While California motorists struggle with surging gasoline prices, the state’s climate credit is getting an adjustment.

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has approved applying the credit during peak months when residential energy use and electricity bills tend to be highest. Residential customers of Southern California Edison (SCE), San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) will be the first to benefit from the seasonal credit.

The PUC says the change is designed to provide more meaningful, timely financial relief without requiring any action from customers.
