. (a) (1) Electrical corporations shall disclose each component
of the electrical bill as follows:
(A) The total charges associated with transmission and
distribution, including that portion comprising the research,
environmental, and low-income funds.

competition transition charge.

charge, electric corporations, in conjunction with the commission,
shall devise and implement a customer education program informing
customers of the changes to the electric industry. The program shall
provide customers with information necessary to help them make
appropriate choices as to their electric service. The education
program shall be subject to approval by the commission.
(c) The standard bill format developed by the commission pursuant
to subdivision (e) of Section 394.4 shall also apply to electrical
