GS-APS
(Air Conditioner Cyclying Program - Base)
This rate applies to commercial and industrial GS-2 and TOU-GS-2 customers, re-opened April 14, 2001, with no change to the existing program. This program offers participating customers credits on their summer season bills in exchange for allowing SCE to install a remotely controlled cycling device on their air conditioner(s). The cycling device permits SCE to periodically turn off, or "cycle," a customer's air conditioner(s) for short periods during the height of the summer season. Air conditioner interruptions are limited to 6 hours per event, 15 events per summer season. The summer season is from June 1st through October 1st each year.

The cycling device permits SCE to periodically turn off, or "cycle," a customer's air conditioner(s) an unlimited number of occurrences and a maximum of 6 hours per event during the height of the summer season. When compared with the Base ACCP, the Enhanced ACCP provides double the credit amounts, but the potential number of times SCE may turn off the air conditioner is unlimited during the summer season.

Electric Industry Restructuring
The restructuring of the California electric industry in March 1998 gave customers the following options:
- Direct Access — Rate Schedule DA (PDF) is for customers who elect to purchase electric power and ancillary services from an Electric Service Provider (ESP). Certain restrictions apply. Since September 2001, the California Public Utilities Commission has suspended direct access for new customers.
- Interval Meter Ownership — Rate Schedule BSC-IMO is for customers who want to continue to purchase power from SCE but want to purchase and own an interval meter to obtain more information about their energy usage.
For more information on these options, contact SCE at 1-800-799-4723.
