When you sign up, SCE will install a remote-controlled device on or near your air conditioner at no cost to you.

Choose Your Comfort Level

We understand more people are staying home during these challenging times. For more control over your A/C during an energy event, we offer program options with override control.** These options allow you to opt out of an energy event if you are at home and still want to use your A/C. If you are currently enrolled, you can switch your eligible A/C unit to another plan option by updating your preferences.

Energy Events

What is an energy event and when does it happen? An SCE Energy Event is a designated time when SCE limits air conditioning usage in participating homes to reduce demand on the energy grid.

We may call an energy event in response to emergencies, overworked electrical grids, high wholesale energy prices, or as part of testing. An energy event can happen at any time during the year and may last up to 6 hours per day (with the possible exception of a system emergency).

You can find information about active or historical energy events at any time.
