This section contains the information and documentation required for CCAs to request either aggregated or confidential usage data in support of establishing a Community Choice Aggregator in the SCE service territory.
Aggregated Usage Data
Aggregated usage data is generally released to the requesting City, County, or JPA up to two times per calendar year at no charge. For any CCA information request that exceeds the two times per calendar year limit, the CCA a processing fee of $256.62 will be charged for each additional report.
Confidential Usage Data
Certain services fees will be charged to the requesting City, County, or JPA for activities performed by SCE to provide monthly information regarding usage (kWh), peak demand (kW) where available, rate class average load profiles, rate class average coincident peak factors, and the number of customers within the requesting City, County, or JPA service area. The reports provided under this section will not include customers not eligible to be included in CCA Automatic Enrollment.
All requests for confidential usage data must be returned to the City, County, or JPA local SCE Region Manager accompanied by a Mayor's Declaration and one Non-Disclosure Form for each individual being granted access to the resulting data file(s)/report(s).
All report titles and associated service fees can be found in SCE Schedule CCA-INFO: Community Choice Aggregation-Information Fees (PDF).
Switching
Six-Month Notice to Return to Bundled Portfolio Service (BPS)
CCA customers choosing to return to bundled service must provide to SCE a Six-Month Advance Notice to Return to Bundled Portfolio Service at least six months in advance of the date they intend to switch to BPS in order for them to become eligible for BPS by that date. Once received by SCE, customers will have a three business-day rescission period after which this notification cannot be cancelled. Customers will also receive confirmation of their notice to return to BPS within ten (10) business days.
Customers who return to BPS must make a three-year commitment to remain on BPS and will not be eligible to return to Direct Access (DA) service or Community Choice Aggregation Service (CCA Service), as applicable, until their three-year minimum period has been fulfilled. DA-eligible customers returning to BPS will continue to be responsible for the Direct Access Customer Responsibility Surcharge undercollections Charge (DA CRS UC), if applicable, resulting from the period they were taking DA service.
At the end of the three-year commitment, customers will have the option to transfer to DA service or CCA Service, as applicable, or remain on bundled service.
Six-Month Notice to Transfer to Community Choice Aggregation Service (CCA)
Customers who wish to transfer to CCA Service must provide a six-month advance notice to SCE in order to become eligible for CCA. Once receive by SCE, they will have a rescission period of three business days after which this notification cannot be cancelled.
In addition, customers will receive confirmation of their notice to transfer to CCA Service within ten (10) business days. This notice will specify the date that their Community Choice Aggregator (CCA) must submit a Community Choice Aggregation Service Request (CCASR) to SCE in order to transfer their account(s). The six-month advance notice to transfer to CCA Service will be cancelled if SCE does not receive a CCASR by the date specified in the notice.
If SCE does not receive a CCASR by the end of a customer's six-month period, their account(s) will be placed on Transitional Bundled Service (TBS) and will be billed spot market prices for six months. At the end of the six-month TBS period, your account will be placed on Bundled Portfolio Service (BPS) for a minimum commitment of three years. If the customer is a Direct Access (DA) eligible customer, the same rule applies; however, prior to beginning the six-month TBS period, they will be given an additional 60-day “Safe Harbor” period on TBS spot market pricing. The Safe Harbor period provides you the opportunity to contact an Electric Service Provider (ESP) to arrange for DA service.
