Energy can be complicated. Let’s walk through your bill.
San Diego Community Power customers receive one bill from SDG&E. Community Power appears as a line item on your SDG&E bill, but this is not an extra charge. We are merely replacing the electricity generation charge that you would otherwise pay to SDG&E.
Community Power purchases electricity generated from renewable sources on behalf of our customers. SDG&E delivers this electricity to you and maintains the power lines. Customers receive one bill, which includes charges for electricity generation and electricity delivery.
This refers to the energy that you are using. Rates vary depending on which Community Power service plan you choose or if you choose to return to SDG&E’s electricity generation service. You can view our service plans here.
This refers to SDG&E’s fees for delivering electricity to you and maintaining power lines. SDG&E delivery rates are the same for everyone, regardless of who your electric generation provider is.
This is a sample bill. Your charges will vary depending on your service plan and energy usage.
If you have rooftop solar, view our Net Energy Metering (NEM) page or Solar Billing Plan (SBP) page for more applicable information.
If you are a medium to large commercial customer, please note that your bill may include an additional “Demand On-Peak Summer” line item under your CCA Electricity Generation Charges between June 1 and October 31. This charge is applied to the highest kilowatt demand (kW) that occurs during peak demand periods and recovers the generation costs of meeting peak energy demands. The Summer On-Peak Demand charge is assessed for medium to large commercial customers, whether you are enrolled in Community Power or SDG&E electricity generation services. If you’d like more information on how this may impact your bill, please call our Contact Center at 888-382-0169.
