加州气候抵免11月到账：三家电力公司住户获17.52至111.83美元电费抵扣 无需申请
加州公用事业委员会（CPUC）10月12日宣布，熊谷电力（Bear Valley Electric Service）、自由公用事业（Liberty Utilities）与太平洋电力（PacifiCorp／Pacific Power）三家公司的住宅客户，将在11月的电费账单中自动获得「加州气候抵免」（California Climate Credit），三家公司抵免额分别为17.52美元、71.98美元和111.83美元，客户无须申请。小企业客户同样适用本次抵免。
气候抵免的资金来自加州总量控制与交易（Cap-and-Trade）计划的配额拍卖收入，由州政府返还给电力用户。根据新通过的州法AB 1207（该法把总量控制与交易计划延长至2045年），CPUC今年起调整抵免发放时间，改为在居民电费最高的月份发放，以更有针对性地减轻高额账单月份的负担。
小企业客户的气候抵免仍按每年4月与10月两次发放。CPUC今年早些时候已把州内主要电力公司的气候抵免时间调整至高账单月份。
California Climate Credit Arrives in November: $17.52 to $111.83 for Customers of Three Utilities
Residential customers of Bear Valley Electric Service, Liberty Utilities and PacifiCorp (Pacific Power) will automatically receive the California Climate Credit on their November electric bills, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) announced on October 12. The credits are $17.52, $71.98 and $111.83 respectively, with no application required; small-business customers of the three utilities are also eligible.
The credit is funded by allowance auction revenue from the state's Cap-and-Trade Program and returned to utility customers. After the passage of AB 1207, which extends the program through 2045, the CPUC rescheduled the credit to land in the months when household electric bills run highest.
Small-business customers continue to receive the credit twice a year, in April and October. Earlier this year the CPUC also moved the credit for the state's larger electric providers to coincide with their highest-bill months.
