TOU rates better align the cost of electricity to the time it is produced and the cost to deliver it when your business needs it. Pricing will generally be higher during summer weekdays in the late afternoons and evenings.
Request your air conditioner repair person remove the devices from the unit(s) to be replaced and leave the devices with you. Contact SCE immediately at 1-800-990-7788 and request installation of the device(s) on or near your new air conditioner(s). An SCE contractor will call you to arrange an appointment for installing the device(s) on your new unit(s). An adult over 18 years old must be present for installation of the device(s). You will continue to be eligible for program credits unless the contractor determines the device(s) cannot be reinstalled. You must contact SCE immediately when the device(s) are removed from the unit(s) you are replacing. If you do not, you may be removed from the SDP and billed for the amount of credits received after the device(s) were removed.

Net Energy Metering (NEM) credits received under Schedule NEM may offset in whole or in part the program credits associated with the SDP.
While energy events can occur at any time during the year, we anticipate that most will occur during the summer, when demand for electricity is highest. We apply credits between June 1 to October 1 to help lower your bill during this time.
You may change to a higher cycling option at any time. If you wish to reduce your cycling option, you may reduce it to Good Value and to Maximum Comfort one time each in a 12-month period. Contact your SCE account manager or call us at 1-800-439-8765 to request a cycling change. Be sure to choose a cycling option and provide the cycling device ID numbers placed on the front of the cycling devices located on or near your central A/C’s compressor unit.
