Ever customer is allotted a daily baseline allowance. Month-to-month your baseline allowance can change due to differences in the number of days in your billing cycle. Your daily baseline allowance is determined by the following:
SDG&E’s service territory is divided into four different climate zones: (1) Coastal, (2) Inland, (3) Mountain, and (4) Desert. Each climate zone is assigned different daily baseline allowances.
The daily baseline allowance varies by season. For residential customers, the summer season is defined as May 1 through October 31 and the winter season is defined as November 1 through April 30.
Customers that receive both electric and natural gas service, will have different baseline allowances (basic service baseline allowances) than customers with all electric service (all electric baseline allowances).
