Your Tier 1/Baseline allowance provides for basic needs at an affordable price and encourages conservation. Your allowance is assigned based on the climate where you live, the season and your heat source. As you use more energy, you pay more for usage.

High Usage: An increased price per kWh whenever electricity usage exceeds four times the Baseline Allowance (Tier 1) in a billing period. This charge does not apply to
DWR bond charge: Recovers the cost of bonds issued by the Department of Water Resources (DWR) to purchase power to serve electric customers during the California energy crisis. DWR bond charges are collected on behalf of DWR and do not belong to PG&E.

Common mistakes
Filling out a Utility Bill form may seem straightforward, but many individuals make common mistakes that can delay processing or result in incorrect billing. Understanding these pitfalls can help ensure that your utility services run smoothly.
One frequent error is incomplete information. Many people forget to fill in required fields, such as their account number or service address. Leaving out crucial details can lead to confusion and delays in service activation or billing.
Another common mistake is illegible handwriting. When forms are filled out by hand, unclear writing can create problems. Utility companies may struggle to read your information, which can result in miscommunication and errors in your account setup.
Some individuals also fail to double-check their numbers. Simple mistakes, like transposing digits in a phone number or account number, can lead to significant issues. A quick review of your entries can save time and prevent complications.
Additionally, people often overlook the importance of signatures. Not signing the form can render it invalid. Always ensure that you have signed the document before submitting it to avoid unnecessary delays.
Another mistake is not providing updated contact information. If you’ve changed your phone number or email address, it’s crucial to reflect those changes on the form. Utility companies need accurate contact details to reach you regarding your account.
Some individuals also neglect to read the instructions carefully. Each utility provider may have specific requirements or additional documentation needed. Skipping this step can lead to incomplete submissions and subsequent delays.
Finally, many people submit the form without keeping a copy for their records. Retaining a copy can be helpful for future reference and can assist in resolving any disputes that may arise regarding your account.
By being aware of these common mistakes, you can ensure that your Utility Bill form is filled out correctly, leading to a smoother process and uninterrupted service.
