How is My Natural Gas Bill Determined?
Our rates are regulated and approved by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The Current Charges on your bill are based on three components:
- Customer Charge – based on days of service.
- Gas Transportation Cost – the cost to deliver natural gas.
- Gas Commodity – the cost of natural gas purchased by SoCalGas on behalf of its customers.
- Taxes and Fees – this includes the CPUC mandated Public Purpose Surcharge and any state or local fees and taxes.

How Does the Baseline Allowance Affect My Bill?
The Baseline Allowance is determined by the CPUC, under the direction of the State Legislature, to be the amounts of natural gas needed to meet the minimum basic needs of the average home. The goal of the Baseline Allowance is to encourage efficient use of natural gas. You will be billed at the lowest rate for natural gas usage below the Baseline Allowance. Usage above the Baseline Allowance is billed at a higher rate.
The baseline allowance is different for each climate zone in our service area. Your zone and baseline allowance are noted in the Current Charges area of your bill.
