Imperial Irrigation District power customers will begin seeing summer bill credits on their monthly electric bills as part of a $48.4 million relief effort designed to help offset electricity costs during the hottest months of the year, IID said on June 10.
The credits are expected to lower customer electricity bills by approximately 12% and will appear automatically on monthly bills from July through October for energy used between June and September. Customers do not need to apply or take any action to receive the credits.
As temperatures rise across the Imperial and Coachella Valleys, the bill credits are intended to provide meaningful savings when energy use is typically at its highest.
“Providing affordable and reliable energy remains one of IID’s highest priorities,” said IID Board Chairwoman Karin Eugenio. “These bill credits deliver meaningful savings directly to our customers and reflect our commitment to returning value to the communities we serve.”
The credits are funded through lower-than-anticipated fuel and purchased power costs in 2025, allowing the District to pass those savings on to customers.
“This is about returning value to our customers while continuing to maintain the reliable electric service our communities depend on,” said IID General Manager Jamie Asbury.
The summer bill credits are part of IID’s ongoing commitment to maintaining affordable rates, providing reliable electric service and supporting customers throughout its service area.
