Energy Solutions

This page will help you enter your account data into the ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager Automated Benchmarking System. For more information on Energy Benchmarking, please visit the home page.

After you enter your account data, Southern California Edison’s (SCE) automated benchmarking system will review your request. If approved, SCE will then provide the energy usage data necessary for generating an ENERGY STAR rating, and other building metrics.

*Note that usage data will only be provided for non-residential meters.

Basic Information You Will Need:

Customer Account Number
The Customer Account Number can be found in the upper right corner of your SCE bill. It is 13 characters long, and looks like this:

2-00-000-0000

Enter it exactly as shown on the bill, with the dashes. If you receive more than one bill, each should have its own Customer Account Number. Be sure to use the applicable Customer Account Number.

Authentication Key
The Authentication Key is the last 4 digits of either your Tax ID or Social Security Number, whichever you used when opening your SCE account.

SCE usage data is not available without a valid Authentication Key.

Service Account Number(s)
The Service Account Number can be found in the upper-right corner of the bill, immediately below the Customer Account Number. It is also 13 characters long, and looks like this:

3-000-0000-00

Enter the Service Account Number exactly as shown on the bill, with the dashes.

Most buildings with more than one electric meter have multiple Service Account Numbers. Be sure that:

• You enter them all
• They are all non-residential accounts

Customer Email Address
SCE may need to send an email containing additional information regarding the authorization process and the transfer of energy usage data in greater detail than that provided via Portfolio Manager. Please enter the email address of the person to whom additional information should be sent

Important Notice
Any data that was entered manually for a given meter into Portfolio Manager will be deleted when you authorize SCE to provide usage data via Automated Benchmarking for that meter. SCE’s automated benchmarking system will provide the past 12 months of meter read dates, kWh usage and cost. Thereafter, each month's data will be automatically added by SCE.

Please do not authorize SCE to provide usage data unless you understand and agree to the above.

FAQ

Q1. Portfolio Manager requires a Meter Name. Where do I obtain that information?
Use whatever name will help you recognize the meter. There are no specific rules, but it is recommended that you use the Service Account Number.

Q2. What if I am benchmarking buildings on behalf of a customer? Can I use their Customer Account Number and Authentication Key?
No. You should use your company’s own Customer Account Number and Authentication Key but with the Service Account Number(s) associated with the building. You will also need to submit a completed authorization form, called a CISR form, before data can be sent. For help on filling out and submitting the authorization form, please refer to the instructions.

Q3. What if I am benchmarking a building on behalf of a customer but my company does not have a SCE Customer Account Number?
You can obtain a Customer Account Number by calling SCE’s Commercial and Industrial call center at (800) 736-4777. You will need to provide your company’s Tax ID together with other general information about your company.

Q4. Who supports Portfolio Manager?
The Environmental Protection Agency. Please do not contact SCE with questions about Portfolio Manager.
