Although AVCE will become your energy provider, your bill will look much as it has in the past.
We’ve partnered with SCE to continue to maintain lines, start and stop power service and handle all billing. AVCE’s job is to buy cleaner power and fill their lines with it. That means you will continue to get just one bill each month for your electricity. Only the line(s) which address power generation will change.
- Once AVCE service starts for your business or residence, the line item for power generation on your SCE bill will be replaced by an AVCE charge for cleaner power.
- SCE will stop charging for generation but will continue to charge for the energy delivery services (typically referred to as “transmission and distribution”) and various regulatory fees. Because SCE and AVCE both provide separate electric services, your one bill will include charges from both SCE and AVCE.
If you want to know more about your bill, we invite you to review the sample bill below that explains the various charges:
