Today is 'Reduce Your Use' day.
SDG&E plan to look at a user’s last five days before Monday and take an average of the highest three days to see how much the user will need to save to earn a bill credit.
Although SDG&E state they have adequate electricity resources to meet the demand, customers can reduce the strain on the electric grid by reducing use Monday between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Residents who use less electricity between those hours will earn a bill credit of 75 cents per kilowatt hour saved or $1.25 credit with enabling technology.
To reduce electricity use, SDG&E are suggesting using a portable/ceiling fan instead of air-conditioning, raise your central air-conditioning setting at a higher temperature, run major appliances before 11 a.m. or after 6 p.m., unplug chargers and power strips and turn off pool pumps in the middle of the day.
People can go to SDG&E’s website to sign up for the program.
