The right order
Most people approach bill reduction in reverse
Use these three steps instead:
02
Then check your rate plan
See whether your current plan matches when you actually use electricity. No equipment is required.
03
Only then consider more
If the bill still feels high after the first two steps, consider other home-energy options.
CARE / FERA
First check potential bill-assistance eligibility
CARE provides a 30–35% electric-bill reduction; FERA provides an 18% electric-bill reduction. Limits below apply June 1, 2026–May 31, 2027.
| Household size | CARE | FERA |
|---|---|---|
| 1–2 | $43,280 | $54,100 |
| 3 | $54,640 | $68,300 |
| 4 | $66,000 | $82,500 |
| +1 each additional person | +$11,360 | +$14,200 |
CARE only: Households participating in Medicaid/Medi-Cal, CalFresh/SNAP, WIC, SSI, or TANF may qualify categorically without the income test.
FERA：Income-based only; it does not use the categorical program pathway above.
