generation rate for PG&E rates. The overall monthly savings would range from 0.3 to <br /> 0.6 percent with the average residential account saving approximately $0.50 on their <br /> overall monthly cost of electricity. If Renewable 100 is chosen as the default, customers <br /> would see an increase in their cost of electricity. The generation rate for Renewable 100 <br /> is $0.01/kWh more than the generation rate for PG&E rates. The overall monthly <br /> increase for most customers would range from 3 to 5.1 percent with the average <br /> residential account paying approximately $5 more per month on their overall cost of <br /> electricity. <br /> Power Content for Bright Choice - As shown in Figure 1 , Bright Choice was 85 percent <br /> carbon free in 2019 (60 percent renewable, 25 percent large hydro, 13 percent <br /> unspecified, and 1.5 percent nuclear). The Power Content Label for 2020 is not yet <br /> available. <br /> Figure 1 .

PG&E reported a renewable content level of 36.2 percent for <br /> 2020, so the power content procurement floor for Bright Choice in 2021 was set to 41.2 <br /> percent - almost 20 percent less than in 2019.
