Need help finding your rate? Your rate is listed on your SDG&E bill under “Detail of Current Charges”, directly under Electric Service.
Definition of Terms Power Source is the mix of energy resources for generating electricity. This makes up the electric power generation mix that is purchased or generated by your provider and delivered to you. Your electric power may be a mix of renewable energy, natural gas and other sources. Generation Rate is the cost of generating and/or purchasing electricity to power your home or business. The generation rate varies based on your energy provider and the resources included in your energy provider’s generation power source. SDG&E Delivery Rate is SDG&E’s charge to deliver electricity to your home or business. The electric delivery rate may vary depending on your rate and electricity use, however, it is charged equally to customers regardless of who provides their electric generation. SDG&E PCIA & FF represents the Power Charge Indifference Adjustment (PCIA) and Franchise Fees (FF). -

-
The PCIA is a charge to recover costs associated with power purchases made on behalf of customers, prior to a customer’s switch to a CCA. The PCIA also applies to customers that subscribe to EcoChoiceSM. The FF is a surcharge applied to electricity transported over SDG&E systems that are constructed in public streets and highways. SDG&E collects the surcharge from customers and remits them to the appropriate municipality. The surcharge is charged equally to customers regardless of who provides their electric generation. The PCIA and the SDG&E commodity portion of the FF are included within the generation rate of SDG&E’s standard bundled service.
RESIDENTIAL The residential rate comparisons exclude the California Climate Credit from the State of California which is issued twice a year to residential customers. This credit is applied equally to customers regardless of who provides their electric generation. For more information visit energyupgradeCA.org/credit
