For I-6 and TOU-BIP:  Southern California Edison (SCE) will notify customers that an interruption event is underway via the Remote Terminal Unit (RTU) and the dedicated telephone. Upon receipt of this message, please reduce your load according to your contractual requirements.

I6-15 and BIP-15 customers must reduce to their contractual levels within 15 minutes of receiving interruptible event notice via RTU and/or dedicated telephone.  In the same manner the I6-30 and BIP-30 must reduce to their contractual levels within 30 minutes.

Interruptible customers may not substitute the use of the interruptible website, paging service, e-mail notification service, or SCE toll-free “888” telephone number as an alternative method of receiving SCE notice to interrupt.  These services are provided for convenience and are not alternatives to the RTU and dedicated telephone. Failure to answer the call from SCE to interrupt power, therefore, resulting in the customer’s failure to interrupt load, may result in penalties for failing to comply with a notice of interruption, as described in the interruptible tariffs.
