SCE Tips and Tools for TOU
To support the state’s ongoing commitment to clean energy, the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) issued a statewide initiative for utilities to transition most customers to new TOU rate plans. Since 2018, we’ve been transitioning our customers to TOU rate plans and will continue this effort in a phased approach.
Taking control of your energy usage and costs is more important now more than ever! With Time of Use coming to some California communities at the end of this year, we want to make sure you are ready and prepared for the transition!
SCE offers online ools (Budget Assistant, Energy Management Center, etc.) to help customers take more control of their energy bill. Please check out the SCE created resources below that will ease the stress of Time of Use transition and provide you with tools to help!
Our Appliance Energy Use Cost Estimator can help you find out how much you can save by using specific appliances during Off-Peak times. Check it out at https://www.sce.com/residential/rates/Time-Of-Use-Residential-Rate-Plans/Appliance-Energy-Use-Cost-Estimator
The layout of your billing statements makes it easier to track how much energy you’re using during Peak time periods. Find out more at https://www.sce.com/customer-service/billing-payment/understanding-your-bill
Sign up to receive a text alert when your TOU plan’s Peak pricing begins, to remind you to shift usage to Off-Peak times and keep costs down. Visit https://scetextalert.com/ for more information
Budget Assistant uses your account’s projected next bill and compares it to your selected spending goal and sends you an alert based upon your settings. Visit https://www.sce.com/residential/rebates-savings/budget-assistant-and-you
