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. No CCA dataset exists for this territory yet: the four that do exist are all PG&E-side, so a Clean Power Alliance or San Diego Community Power customer cannot be priced at all. 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.
The PDF contains sheets with two different effective dates (Nov 15 2025 under Advice 5654-E, and Oct 1 2026 under Advice 5897-E). The page carrying the rate table is the Oct 1 2026 one, which is what is encoded - taking the document's first or newest footer blindly would have dated the rates wrongly.
Energy rate = Delivery Service Total + Generation. Baseline 0.19011 + 0.11255 = 0.30266; over-baseline 0.28112 + 0.11255 = 0.39367.
Verified against the component columns: the nine delivery components in the RATES (Continued) table sum exactly to the Delivery Total (0.02481 + 0.17910 + 0.00866 + 0.00003 + 0.00556 - 0.03496 + 0.00591 + 0.00000 + 0.00100 = 0.19011).
Summer and winter energy rates are identical on Schedule D. The season split still matters because the BASELINE ALLOCATION differs by season, so the tier boundary moves.
Base Services Charge $0.794/meter/day (delivery 0.429 + PPPC 0.365), encoded monthly as 0.794*365/12 = $24.1508.
California Climate Credit (-$36.00) excluded - a periodic bill credit, not a rate.
BSC Discount for deed-restricted housing (-$0.327/day) not applied; it is a program, not the standard rate.
Baseline allocations are DAILY, as with PG&E, so the tier boundary scales with days in the billing month.
THE FIXED RECOVERY CHARGE IS INCLUDED IN THE RATES ABOVE, RESOLVED 2026-08-28. $0.01118/kWh from 1 October 2026 ($0.00619 before), added to every energy rate. Settled from the schedule's own CARE Special Condition, which exempts CARE Customers from "the CARE Surcharge of $0.215 per meter per day, the Wildfire Fund Non-Bypassable Charge of $0.00591 per kWh, and the Fixed Recovery Charge of $0.01118 per kWh" - a charge one class is exempted from is one the others pay, and it is listed beside the Wildfire Fund charge that is already inside Delivery Total. These encodings are non-CARE. Special Condition 10 explains why it is itemised separately rather than folded into Delivery Total: the right to recover it was transferred to the Special Purpose Entity that issued SCE's wildfire securitization bonds, so the money is not SCE's revenue. It is still on every non-CARE bill.
EXCLUDED, AND STILL AN OPEN QUESTION: the MCAM Charge of $0.00223/kWh. Neither book carries an applicability clause for it - only a footnote saying it recovers "system reliability procurement ordered by the CPUC that SCE has procured on behalf of customers whose generation services are provided by certain Electric Service Providers or Community Choice Aggregators". That describes the cost, not who pays it. What points away from these encodings is footnote 1: the Delivery Total is applicable to Bundled Service, Direct Access AND Community Choice Aggregation customers, so this schedule is not a bundled-only document and a row that applies to the DA/CCA subset alone sits in it without applying to a bundled customer. That is an argument rather than a clause, so it is NOT encoded. Worth 0.223 c/kWh if it turns out to be owed. Settling it needs Schedule DA-CRS or CCA-CRS, to see whether MCAM is billed there instead.
