Financial Assistance
If you are already a CARE/FERA customer with Southern California Edison (SCE), you do not have to do anything - you will automatically be enrolled in Green Start and receive clean energy at Santa Barbara Clean Energy's lowest rate.
Am I Eligible for CARE/FERA?
If your household has limited income, or someone in your home has special medical needs, you may qualify for more affordable energy under either the California Alternative Rates for Energy (CARE), the federal Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA) program, or by receiving medical baseline allowance.
Families who qualify for public assistance programs such as Medi-Cal, SNAP, WIC, or SSI will likely qualify for CARE, FERA, or medical baseline programs.
How to Enroll in CARE/FERA
Santa Barbara Clean Energy customers can apply for SCE's CARE/FERA Program at SCE.com or call (800) 974-2356.
