Burbank Water and Power rates
Burbank Water and Power approved two systemwide average increases. Here's what the official numbers say.
BWP approved a 9.9% systemwide average electric rate increase effective January 1, 2026, and another 9.9% effective January 1, 2027.
For a typical home using 520 kWh per month, BWP estimates about $19.80/month more in 2026. Systemwide average. Individual rate classes differ; your bill change depends on your rate class and usage.
Solar plus battery storage lets Burbank homes generate and store more of their own electricity. Customers grandfathered in BWP's previous NEM program are not exempt from these rate increases.
