Bill Discounts & Financial Assistance ​

Customers who receive electric generation services from San Diego Community Power are eligible for the same financial assistance programs as those who receive electric generation services from SDG&E.

Looking for additional bill discounts? Community Power’s PowerBase service plan offers a 5% discount compared to SDG&E’s electric generation rates.

California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE)

CARE is a California state program that provides qualifying low-income households with a 30% discount on monthly electric bills. SDG&E runs this program for both Community Power and SDG&E customers.

To be eligible for CARE, you must already participate in public assistance programs, such as CalFresh or Medicaid, or meet the program’s income guidelines. The full list of eligible public assistance programs and income guidelines can be found on SDG&E’s website.

If you apply to CARE but do not qualify, SDG&E will automatically check to see if you qualify for Family Electric Rate Assistance (FERA).

To participate in FERA, you must meet the program’s income guidelines, which can be found on SDG&E’s website.

Medical Baseline Allowance

Medical Baseline Allowance provides households with qualifying medical devices or climate control needs with additional gas and electricity at the lowest available rate, plus notification in the event of a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS).

To be eligible for Medical Baseline Allowance, you must have a qualifying medical condition or use qualifying medical equipment, which must be for home-use only. The full list of qualifying medical conditions and equipment can be found on SDG&E’s website.

AMP is available to residential customers only; commercial customers are not eligible. AMP is also not available to Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers.
