Find out if this new option is right for you.

An interval meter is a specialized device that measures your company's energy usage in 15-minute intervals.

Here are some situations that require an interval meter:

You must use an interval meter if:

• Your business has demand greater than 50kW and you want to purchase your power from an Electric Service Provider (ESP) (Direct Access). Southern California Edison can provide this metering (through your ESP), or you can get it directly from your ESP.
• You would like to continue to receive your power from Southern California Edison, but you want to take advantage of hourly pricing from the California Power Exchange (Virtual Direct Access).
• You need more information about your usage to manage your load more effectively and/or evaluate your options for Direct Access or Virtual Direct Access.

If you don't want to participate in Direct Access or Virtual Direct Access, and you don't need to see your interval usage information, you don't need to switch to interval metering. Southern California Edison will continue to provide your metering services just as we have in the past, with no additional charges.

No matter how you choose to purchase your power, Southern California Edison will continue to provide you with helpful energy advice.

Qualifying customers who complete the written survey can receive tips on everything from air conditioning to cooking equipment.
