Every year, SDG&E’s electric rates are lower during the winter than the summer. The trick to keep in mind for budgeting purposes is that “winter” extends from Nov. 1 to April 30, while “summer” runs from May 1 to Oct. 31. This is a change from previous years, when the month of October was part of winter. Because electricity costs are higher in the summer, your October or November bills may be higher than last year. For specifics, check the electric rate on your energy bill or call SDG&E’s Business Contact Center at 1-800-336-7343.
