Base Services Charge is not a new fee or tax, but rather a change in how electric bills are structured. Beginning in November 2025, electricity bills will be restructured for residential customers, including those with solar.
California Assembly Bill 205 requires electric utilities to adjust the way residential customers are billed. The goal of the change is to make it more affordable to use electric technologies and more clean, sustainable energy. SCE does not earn more profit because of this change.
