- Provides a credit for electric services
- Opt-outs must be filed by deadline
- Administrator contact info available
Consumers and the word “surcharge” tend to clash. When questions arise regarding whether or not a surcharge should have ever been in place to begin with, things can escalate rather quickly. A class action lawsuit called Eck, et al. v. City of Los Angeles has recently come to settlement terms resolving allegations that the Defendant embedded an additional 8 percent surcharge into LADWP electric rates in order to fund transfers to the city’s Reserve Fund to support general operations. The allegations claim the rates exceed the costs of providing electric service, thus the surcharges constitute taxes which have not been approved by the electorate as required by the California Constitution and the California Government Code. It should be noted that the court HAS NOT decided in favor of one party over another as both parties have agreed to a pending settlement. Class Members who want nothing to do with the settlement can begin the opt-out process by going to LA City Transfer Settlement page and clicking the File Opt-Out tab.
