Before connecting your portable electric generator, call us.
State law requires that you notify us if you will be using a generator.
During an outage you may want to use a small generator for electricity. Before starting your generator, carefully read and follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding safe operation.
Generators that are installed incorrectly or misused can feed electricity back into power lines, endangering your life and the lives of SDG&E crews working to restore your power.
Never plug a generator into any electric outlet in your home or business.
