Opt Out of San Diego Community Power

Your electricity choices matter, and we’re here to support whatever decision is right for you.

At Community Power, we value transparency, affordability, and clean energy. If you’re thinking about opting out, we welcome the opportunity to hear your feedback and answer any questions you may have. Understanding your concerns helps us continue to serve our community better.

What to Know Before You Opt Out

Opting out of Community Power? We’re sad to see you go. Our PowerOn service already beats SDG&E on price. Looking to save even more? PowerBase lowers your electricity generation costs by 5% compared to SDG&E.

Customers who return to SDG&E within 60 days of enrollment in Community Power will be fully returned to SDG&E’s service at the time of the next meter read to occur at least five business days after opting out of Community Power.

Customers who return to SDG&E after 60 days of enrollment in Community Power must pay SDG&E’s one-time customer re-entry fee of $0.56 for each account returning to their service and choose one of the following options SDG&E offers:

Opting out is simple.

You can leave Community Power anytime, free of charge. You’re also free to switch between our mga opsyon sa serbisyo at any time. However, SDG&E requires a 12-month wait before rejoining Community Power.

Timing can affect your options.

If you’ve been a Community Power customer for more than 60 days, SDG&E may place restrictions on returning to their service and re-enrolling in Community Power. Learn more here.

Community Power is not an added cost.

We replace the electric generation portion of your bill—the same charge you’d otherwise pay to SDG&E. Delivery and transmission remain the same.

Unsure About the Benefits of Community Power

San Diego Community Power is a not-for-profit public agency providing clean, cost-competitive energy to nearly 1 million customers across the San Diego region. We purchase energy generated from renewable sources, like solar or wind, which SDG&E then delivers to your home or business.

As a public agency, we don’t have shareholders. Instead, we reinvest revenues back into our local communities through lower electricity rates, education and customer programs that contribute to our goal of 100% renewable energy by 2035 or sooner.

Concerns with Solar

San Diego Community Power supports our local solar customers. We offer our Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers the option to choose between monthly and annual billing. For newer solar customers on the Solar Billing Plan (SBP), we offer bonus export adders.

We also provide an additional premium of $0.0075 per kilowatt-hour on top of the wholesale rate in Net Surplus Compensation (NSC) for solar customers who generate more electricity than they consume over their annual true-up period.

We encourage you to explore our Rooftop Solar page for more information.
