Tariff Revisions

The AL proposes to add a new section N to gas and electric Rule 9-Rendering and Payment of Bills, to set forth the late payment fee:

"A Late Payment Fee (LPF) of one percent (1%) per month may be applied to the total amount of unpaid energy-related charges if the customer's payment is not received in a timely manner in accordance with PG&E's tariffs after issuance of a residential or nonresidential bill. Customers participating in the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program and State Governmental agencies are exempt from the LPF. "

"Charges not subject to the LPF would be those amounts corresponding to Utility User's Tax, Energy Commission Tax, Electric Franchise Fee Surcharge and Gas Franchise Fee Surcharge. All other types of charges would be subject to the LPF, including, but not limited to, amounts corresponding to DWR charges, public purpose programs, decommissioning costs, reconnection charges following discontinuance of service, and non-bypassable charges."
