2020 年 5 月,Clean Power Alliance 的董事会投票决定,暂时为参加 CARE、FERA 和基本医疗底线 (Medical Baseline) 财务援助计划的客户冻结费率。冻结计划是 CPA COVID-19 救济措施的一部分,旨在于迅速演变的经济危机中保护弱势客户,对就业和财务状况产生前所未有的影响。
加州在疫后复苏方面取得了长足进步,适用于 CARE、FERA 和基本医疗底线 (Medical Baseline) 客户的临时费率冻结计划将于 2022 年 10 月 1 日终止。届时将恢复 CARE、FERA 和基本医疗底线 (Medical Baseline) 标准费率以及各自的典型折扣。
费率冻结 – 自冻结计划落实以来,向电力产生率未增加的 CARE、FERA 和基本医疗底线 (Medical Baseline) 费率客户提供 1,010 万美元的福利。
账单抵扣 – 投入 200 万美元,对在支付电费方面遇到困难的客户提供支持。
加州欠款支付计划 (The California Arrearage Payment Program, CAPP) – 1,580 万美元的账单抵扣额度,用于协助符合条件的电费欠款客户。
此外,CPA 还为 CARE、FERA 和基本医疗底线 (Medical Baseline) 援助计划的客户提供了公平使用可再生能源的机会。这些客户所在的社区以 100% 绿色电力作为默认能源选项,他们将继续以较低的清洁电力费率获得 100% 绿色电力。
CPA 客户仍然可以使用众多工具和计划,用于协助支付账单并节省费用,其中包括:
电力共享 (Power Share) 计划为资源贫乏的社区中符合收入条件的客户提供 100% 可再生能源以及 20% 的折扣。与 CARE 或 FERA 折扣结合使用时,您的每月电费可节省最多 45%。
如果客户无法支付逾期账单,也提供申请账单豁免的途径。对于按时支付当前账单费用的每个月,AMP 将免除逾期总金额的 1/12。
预算助手 (Budget Assistant) 使用您帐户下一次账单的预计费用,将其与您选择的支出目标进行比较,并根据您的设置向您发送警报,从而帮助您保持预算并对您的能源使用和费用加以掌控。
如果您需要协助,CPA 的客户支持团队可以帮助您了解您的选项,并在您认为适合自己的情况下为您报名参加节费计划。
