Typical residential rates

DR (Domestic Rate)

If you’re a typical household, you’re most likely on this rate.

DR-LI (Domestic Rate Low-Income)

This rate is associated with CARE, our 20% bill discount program and FERA, the discount on electricity available for households with three or more persons.  Find out more about SDG&E assistance programs.

DR-TOU (Domestic Rate, Time Of Use)

This rate is for households using a lot of electricity (more than 1,500 kWh a month) This time-of-use rate works best if no one is home from noon to 6 p.m. on weekdays.  Putting timers on large appliances such as electric water heaters or pool pumps works with this rate to help manage energy use.

DR-SES (Domestic Rate, Solar Energy System)

Households with solar energy systems are eligible for this rate. Visit the Net Energy Metering page for more information.
