SDG&E September Message: Earn Incentives for Shifting Energy Use

As energy demand rises, especially during hot summer afternoons, your business can take simple steps to support the grid and earn financial incentives. The Capacity Bidding Program is a demand response program designed to help stabilize the electric grid during periods of high demand.
When grid conditions are tight, participating businesses are notified to temporarily reduce energy use. In return, they can earn financial incentives for their participation. You choose how much energy your business can reduce, receive advance notice of events and take simple actions like adjusting HVAC or shifting operations. Unlike one-time opportunities, CBP is an ongoing program during the summer months, giving your business multiple opportunities to earn incentives.
