SDGE Peak Hours: How to Get the Best Rates
As a San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) customer, you may be wondering how to save the most money on your monthly electric bill. When you review all the Time of Use (TOU) plans and pricing options online, you know that understanding an SDGE peak hours chart is no easy task!
With the process of moving all residential clients to TOU plans in early 2019, a lot of confusion has developed about electricity costs. The important thing to keep in mind is that your per kWh rate will change based on when you are using electricity and will vary based on the season, day, and hour.
How to Save Money on Electricity
It is no secret that California has some of the highest energy rates in the country – and they are on the rise. According to the California Public Utilities Commission, SDG&E’s rate increases are expected to outpace inflation by nearly 70 percent by 2030.

The good news is that you don’t have to settle for paying more every year. As a homeowner, you have options – and you don’t have to move outside of SDG&E’s service area.
