Schedule D-APS (Residential Summer Discount Plan - Base)
The Base Summer Discount Plan (SDP), for qualifying residential 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 the first Sunday in June to the first Sunday in October each year.

Schedule D-APS-E (Residential Summer Discount Plan - Enhanced)
The new Enhanced Summer Discount Plan (SDP), for qualifying residential customers, opened April 14, 2001. 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) an unlimited number of times and a maximum of 6 hours per event during the height of the summer season. When compared with the Base SDP, the Enhanced SDP provides double the credit amounts, but the potential number of times SCE may turn off the air conditioner is unlimited during the summer season. The summer season is from June 1st through October 1st each year.
