FAQ Answer
  • You are not required to scan the RIN QR code. 
  • Contact your smart device manufacturer to confirm if your device can use the RIN QR code for programming. The required manufacturer’s technology for smart devices to program the RIN QR code is not available today for most devices. 
  • When the technology is available, you may scan the QR code or enter the 16-digit RIN only if you’re setting up a smart device using its designated app.

FAQ Answer
  • A RIN is a unique 16-digit number that tells your smart device the price you are currently paying for your energy use. In the future, you might use the Rate Identification Number (RIN) to program smart devices like smart thermostats, EV chargers, or energy management systems to optimize your energy use when the manufacturer has enabled its use. Once these smart device features are available, simply scan the QR code using the smart device app during the setup process.

    FAQ Answer

    You will continue to pay your bill to SCE as usual. SCE will be responsible for transferring the CCA portion of your payment to your CCA. You may continue to access and pay your bill online at sce.com. Or, for greater convenience, sign up for Auto Pay. Each month, ten days after your bill is generated, Auto Pay automatically deducts your total amount due from your bank account. Log into My Account and click Sign up for Auto Pay in the Billing and Payment Preferences section.

    A charges on my bill? Why is that?

    FAQ Answer

    Due to unintended billing delays, your current billing statement may show CCA charges and/or SCE charges from multiple past billing cycles that were not included in your prior bills. As a result, your current bill amount may be higher than normal. However, this does not represent incorrect bills or duplicate charges. We are working closely together with CCAs to resolve these delayed billing issues for our customers.
