What this figure does and does not include

Transcription notes recorded when this tariff was encoded, including anything deliberately left out.

• THIS IS BUNDLED SERVICE, AND IN MUCH OF THIS TERRITORY THAT IS NOT THE DEFAULT. Where a Community Choice Aggregator operates, it supplies generation and enrolls customers automatically unless they opt out, so those households pay this utility's DELIVERY charges plus the CCA's generation rate plus a PCIA - not the generation component encoded here. This rate is correct for a bundled-service customer and overstates a CCA customer's utility bill by roughly the generation share. Four are already parsed for this territory - Ava Community Energy, CleanPowerSF, MCE (Marin Clean Energy), Peninsula Clean Energy - as CCA DATASETS under data/current, which are a different object from a tariff and are not served through the API. The PCIA is what makes the difference hard to eyeball rather than trivial: its charge depends on the vintage year the CCA began service, and the 2016 vintage is about $0.037/kWh against a 2025 vintage that is a credit.
• Baseline quantities are territory-specific: territory P is 13.5 kWh/day summer, 11.0 kWh/day winter (Code B).
• Base Services Charge $0.79343/customer/day (income tier 3), encoded as monthly equivalent 0.79343*365/12 = $24.1335.
• California Climate Credit ($36.18, Aug/Sep) excluded — a bill credit, not a rate.
• Tier 2 and 'over 400% of baseline' are both $0.40702, so a single unbounded upper tier is exact.
