Southern California Edison charges Energy for Palmdale’s Independent Choice customers a Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) calculated based on the number of kilowatt hours used each month.

The PCIA is intended to ensure that customers who switch to Energy for Palmdale’s Independent Choice pay for energy that was acquired by Southern California Edison to serve them prior to their switch. The PCIA is determined based on when the customer switched to Energy for Palmdale’s Independent Choice and whether they are a residential or a commercial customer.
