Energy Conservation Activations

This is the activation status page for SDG&E programs and pricing plans that call for energy use reductions from both Residential and Business customers.

For customers who are on an event-based pricing plan, please refer to Time of  Use Plus and Critical Peak Pricing Plans.

For customers who have signed up for an incentive program please refer to Demand Response Incentive Programs.

Time of Use Plus and Critical Peak Pricing Plans

Time of Use plus and Critical Peak Pricing Plans allow you to receive a lower rate most of the year, but on activated days, prices are higher (up to four times more). Conserve energy during activated hours to avoid paying the higher charge.

Three things to remember when TOU-Plus and CPP-D event days are activated:

  • On-Peak (4 p.m. - 9 p.m.) is always the highest price every day. You'll be charged the On-Peak price plus a surcharge for your energy use when an event day is called from 4 p.m. - 9 p.m. This is the best time to conserve.
  • You have pricing plan options and can opt-out of your current plan. Visit myenergycenter.com and click on "Compare Pricing Plans" to find the best pricing plan for you.
  • Make sure you're signed up to receive advance notification of activations. Visit myenergycenter.com and click on "Alerts".
