Welcome to California's 'Green Energy Revolution.' SDGE wants you to NOT use energy when it gets hot this summer to avoid stressing the statewide power grid.
SAN DIEGO – San Diego Gas & Electric Wednesday encouraged its customers to sign up for Power Saver Rewards, an incentive program that rewards customers with bill credits for reducing their electricity use on days when the statewide grid is stressed by high demand.
“Customers receive a double benefit when they participate in Power Saver Rewards and conserve energy: 1) they can save on their energy bill and 2) they help to keep the grid reliable for all Californians on hot summer days when the grid is stressed,” SDG&E Director of Customer Programs Hollie Bierman said. “The grid is interconnected statewide, and we appreciate our customers’ willingness to do their part to help.
The California Independent System Operator — which manages the state’s flow of electricity on high-voltage power lines — issued nine straight days of Flex Alerts, voluntary calls for conservation typically issued during peak hours in the afternoon to reduce overall power consumption. The program is voluntary and participants are not penalized if they do not reduce energy usage. Residential customers served by a Community Choice Aggregation or Direct Access program are eligible to participate. Participants must be residential electric customers with a smart meter within SDG&E’s service territory and not taking part in other SDG&E energy conservation incentive programs such as AC Saver, Capacity Bidding or a third-party program.
