Not all the money is going directly to ratepayers, though. A total of $10 million is headed toward a fund that will"support local nonprofit, community-based organizations that provide essential services to vulnerable customers," a company statement said.
It is not yet clear how customers would be able to access this resource; that info is expected to be released in the coming weeks. What they did say was that SDG&E will seek proposals that support programs for vulnerable and lower-income residents, including seniors. "By working directly with local nonprofit organizations that have the expertise and are best equipped to identify resource needs, the funding can have the greatest impact on communities in need," SDG&E said in a statement.
