About Your Charts: Introduction and Chart Basics

Introduction

Energy Charts are a great way to stay on top of your electricity use at your home or business. They allow you to track and monitor how much electricity you use by day, week, month and year.

With Energy Charts, you can also gain insights by:

• Making historical comparisons
• Viewing how temperature effects your use of electricity

Energy Charts are organized into five main areas:

• Highlights: Emphasizes key points about your chart
• Graph: Presents electricity use as a bar graph
• Display: Provides view options by timeframe and temperature
• Legend/Key: Defines color and symbols to help interpret the graph
• Compare: Provides options for historical comparisons

Energy Charts are Informational

Energy Charts are designed to help you understand how you use energy and find ways to save. Your charts are updated once a day.

Your bill is not calculated on the basis of data presented in the charts. The information presented in the charts may differ from your bill.

Please refer to your monthly bill for actual use information. SDG&E ensures bill accuracy by validating your data before sending your bill.
