PG&E – MCE Commercial Joint Cost Comparisons
As part of our mutual commitment to support your energy choice, MCE and PG&E have
partnered to create a comparison of our typical electric rates and average monthly charges.
Most business customers use the COM-1 (PG&E Equivalent A-1) rate but comparisons for all
residential rate schedules are below.

Definitions
Generation Rate is the cost of creating electricity to power your home. The generation rate
varies based on your energy provider.
PG&E Delivery Rate is a charge assessed by PG&E to deliver electricity to your home. The
PG&E delivery rate depends on your electricity usage, but is charged equally to both MCE and
PG&E customers.
PG&E PCIA/FF represents the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) and the Franchise
Fee surcharge (FF). The PCIA is a charge to cover PG&E’s generation costs acquired prior to a
customer’s switch to a third-party electric generation provider. PG&E acts as a collection agent
for the Franchise Fee surcharge, which is levied by cities and counties for all customers.
Determining Your Rate Schedule
Need help finding your electric rate? Your rate schedule is indicated on the “Electric Delivery
Charges” detail page of your bill, typically the third page. An example is circled below in
orange for a customer on the E-1 (MCE Equivalent RES-1) rate schedule.
