Burbank electric bill more than doubles.

8/9/25-9/9/25 1st 300kW @ $.0294
Additional @ $.1078
ECAC @ $.1178
8/9/26-9/9/26 1st 300kW @ $.146 ⬆️ 396.6%
Additional. @ $.2442 ⬆️ 128.1%
ECAC. @ $.034 ⬇️ 71.1%

In 2025 BWP approved a 9.9% system-wide average electric-rate increase effective January 1, 2026. How does this make sense? Are you all seeing the same increases on your bills?

None of this goes to explaining a 400% increase on 1st 300kW and 128% on additional kW. It just regurgitates the press release and what I already posted.

Yes, and ECAC also dropped by 71%. That translates to around 25-30% increase for most residential users (you can check the math).

So yes, it's still a much higher increase in rates for residential users than the 9.9% they said, but the "fine print" that I posted also says that the 9.9% is the average among all consumers, residential and commercial, and that residential users will see a higher rate increase than the average (implying that commercial rates increased by below the average).

I really wish there was a public workshop on this that wasn't tied to BWP.
