~ SACRAMENTO - In a recent announcement, Governor Gavin Newsom revealed that millions of Californians will receive an average of $137 in credits on their April gas and electric bills. This relief is a direct result of the state's Cap-and-Trade program, which requires polluters to pay for climate action.
Since 2014, California households have already received an average of $1,120 in combined automatic April and October climate credits on their utility bills. This year, the state's Cap-and-Trade program will provide a total of $2.4 billion in residential credits - $1.4 billion for electric customers, $1 billion for natural gas customers, and an additional $122 million for small businesses.
Governor Newsom stated that this credit is a result of the state's efforts to clean the air while also giving residents money back on their utility bills. He added that millions of California families will benefit from this relief.
The way it works is that the credits range from $35 to $259 for electricity bills and approximately $54 to $87 on natural gas bills for residential customers of PG&E, San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Gas Company, and Southwest Gas. Californians can check how much their credit will be on a designated website.

It is important to note that Californians do not need to take any action to receive this credit. The California Climate Credit comes from the State's Cap-and-Trade Program managed by the California Air Resources Board. The credit on utility bills represents the consumer's share of the payments from the State's program.
In addition to providing relief on utility bills, California's Cap-and-Trade program has also funded $28 billion in climate investments since 2014. These investments have supported over half a million projects across the state, created 30,000 jobs and reduced millions of tons of carbon emissions. Some examples of these investments include building affordable housing near job centers, constructing the nation's first high-speed rail, and implementing zero-emission transportation options in underserved communities.
Governor Newsom also recently announced $25 million to advance educational outreach to workers and businesses about vital health, safety, and workplace protections. This funding will support Los Angeles community-based organizations (CBOs) in their efforts to educate workers and businesses on these important issues.
Furthermore, California continues to lead in advocating for the responsible use of emerging AI technology with the release of a new draft working report by leading artificial intelligence experts. This report aims to study the impacts and opportunities of AI technology.
Lastly, Governor Newsom honored fallen San Bernardino County Sheriff's Deputy Hector Cuevas Jr. with a heartfelt statement. He expressed his condolences to Deputy Cuevas' family and friends and recognized his dedication and service to the community.
