Important Information About Critical Peak Pricing
Effective June 1, 2022, events can be called year-round on any day of the week, including weekends and holidays.
Get to Know Critical Peak Pricing (CPP)
CPP is the default option for small, medium, and large business customers (Rate Schedules TOU-GS-1, TOU-GS-2, TOU-GS-3, and TOU-8) as well as large Agricultural and Pumping (Rate Schedule TOU-PA-3) customers. CPP provides four months of summer season bill credits in exchange for paying higher electricity prices during 12 to 15 annual CPP events. When called, CPP events are from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., usually occurring on the hottest summer days. If your business reduces its electricity use when we notify you of CPP events, you can minimize these higher prices. Plus, your business will earn credits on your electricity bills during the summer season — when your bills are typically the highest.
Save More with the Technology Incentive Program
If you are enrolled in Critical Peak Pricing, you could get $75 back when you register your qualifying smart thermostat in the Technology Incentive Program.
During a CPP event, we will notify your smart thermostat provider to temporarily adjust the temperature setting on your thermostat to limit A/C usage at your business. You will always have the ability to adjust the temperature during these events, but this could affect your CPP event charges.

在 CPP 事件期間減少用電量的小技巧
Your business will not have to shut down operations to participate in CPP events. Instead, these tips can help reduce your energy usage during a CPP event.
- Turn off all nonessential indoor/outdoor lighting, signage, window displays, fountains, and office equipment not in use.
- Raise cooling thermostat settings to 78°F with a programmable smart thermostat.
- Install sensory controllers on vending machines to shut them down for short periods of time.
- Reduce production during CPP events or reschedule during Off-Peak or Super Off-Peak hours (when CPP events will not occur).
- Unplug battery chargers and use only precharged equipment during On-Peak hours; charge battery-operated equipment prior to CPP events.

您有關於 CPP 的問題嗎？我們能為您解答。
If your business is able to reduce energy during CPP events, you may benefit from CPP. CPP events are called 12 to 15 per calendar year on non-holiday weekdays between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m.
全年都有可能會宣告 CPP 事件，每個日曆年度有 12 次，時間為下午 4 時至晚上 9 時。CPP 事件只會在不是假日的平日發生。
CPP 事件是由於高用電需求、高電價、氣候或系統狀況所造成。在這些日子裡，從下午 4 時至晚上 9 時的需求高峰時段，電價會提高。
不。我們不要求您在 CPP 事件中降低電力負載。然而，您在 CPP 事件期間的所有用電，都將以遠高於正常 TOU 費率的電價收費。
不可能。CPP 事件一旦宣告就無法取消。

是的。即使您沒有收到事件通知，仍需在事件期間支付較高電費。只有註冊通知服務的用戶才會收到事件通知。
The ability to call CPP events throughout the year gives SCE more flexibility to call upon needed resources. Credits are only applied from June 1 to September 30 to help offset the typically higher energy costs during summer months.
