Updated May 15, 2013
Currently, SDG&E is not accepting 6-Month Notices to Transfer to Direct Access.
The SDG&E Total Load Allowance, 3,562 GWh, is fully subscribed.
The next Direct Access enrollment period will begin on Monday, April 8, 2013 at 9:00 am PDT. Customers or their authorized agents may submit Six Month Notices during the five (5) business days beginning April 8th and ending Friday, April 12, 2013 at 5 pm PDT. Notices received before or after the enrollment period described will be rejected.
The first-come/first-serve process has been replaced with a Random Number Lottery Process as specified in California Public Utility Commission D.12-12-026, for load that may become available in Y2013 and or Y2014. If there is no load available at the end of the enrollment process, Six Month Notices that are certified will be placed on a Wait List based on their randomized lottery number. For a complete description of the adopted lottery process, see CPUC D.12-12-026, Appendix, 1.
