Southern California Gas Company's California Alternative Rates for Energy Program (CARE)
From December 2007 through February 2008, income-qualified Southern California Gas Company customers participating in our California Alternative Rates for Energy program (CARE) that currently receive a 20 percent rate discount will automatically receive an additional rate discount of 8 to 13 percent.

The additional discount will save all CARE customers combined approximately $18 million over the 3-month period. This means that a typical residential CARE customer consuming 75 therms of natural gas will save an additional $5 to $10 on the monthly bill.

We're able to provide this extra discount because in 2005 when natural gas prices were rapidly increasing, The Gas Company decided to extract lower-priced stored gas and pass the savings on to low-income customers over a three-year period. This is just one example of how The Gas Company is committed to identifying innovative ways to assist our customers.

While the discount will remain in effect through February 2008, customers should plan ahead in case colder than normal March weather results in increased natural gas usage and higher bills.

Customers also may wish to take advantage of The Gas Company's Direct Assistance Program, which offers no-cost energy saving home improvements to income-qualified customers. In addition, our Gas Assistance Fund provides for a one-time credit of up to $100 on a customer's winter bill.
