- Consumers' tariff (Sheet C-64.30, effective May 1, 2026) credits outflow at your rate schedule's power-supply rate, including transmission, plus the PSCR factor. For residential Rate RSP that's $0.151904/kWh on-peak and $0.103970/kWh off-peak June–September, and $0.082996/kWh October–May. Unused credit carries forward, can't offset securitization charges and isn't transferable.
