SDG&E's Time-of-Use Rates

Hi neighbors, have you heard about SDG&E defaulting its ratepayers to a time-of-use billing structure? Many families will see their electric bills increase with this change, which now charges us the highest amount for power used during 4-9 p.m.

As of March 1, 2019, SDG&E began the process of defaulting nearly all of its ratepayers to a time-of-use billing structure. However, ratepayers have the option to opt out and remain on their current rates. Keep an eye out for notices from SDG&E (they must send everyone two notices before they will default you if you don't take action to opt out).

If you are a solar customer, it is important to understand if you are going to be defaulted, how these rates affect your consumption habits, your net-metering agreement, and what your options are moving forward. Knowing this will affect some of its customers, my company, Sullivan Solar Power, detailed the changes and broke down your options in a blog post that is posted below. The most important takeaway is to stay with the rate for which your system was designed and remain diligent to any changes SDG&E may make to your account.
