On this plan, the electricity you use in a month is broken up into tiers, or usage levels. As you use electricity during the month, you move up from one tier to the next and your price goes up, too. 

Throughout California, customers are switching to Time-of-Use pricing plans. These plans give you more choice and control for managing your energy use. With these plans, prices will be lower all day except between the hours of 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. when prices are higher.

If you have an electricity generation system that uses a renewable fuel source such as wind or solar, you can earn bill credits for excess power that flows from your system to SDG&E's electricity grid.

These are great options if you want more renewable energy, but don’t own your home, can’t afford the upfront costs of solar, or can’t put solar panels on your roof. 

Get a more predictable energy bill by balancing out the highs and lows when you  sign up for this budget planning program.
