SDG&E TOU-DR1 rates by effective date
Summer total electric rates of Schedule TOU-DR1 from SDG&E's total rates tables: delivery plus commodity, for customers who buy their power from SDG&E, before CARE and FERA discounts, the baseline adjustment credit and the climate credit. The base services charge started on October 1, 2025.
SDG&E lists one table for June to December 2022, one for 2023 and one for March to September 2024, so a change inside those periods does not show here.
Red: higher than the period before. Blue: lower. A dash means that the charge did not exist or did not apply then.
What the history does not show
A bill also changes with the riders, the fuel and supply charges and the taxes that are not in the table, and with your kWh and the season. To see what the current rates mean for your bill, use the SDG&E rates and bill calculator. To see what one rate change does to your bill, use the rate change tool.
We read each value from the official document in the source column. If you find a value that is different on your bill or in the tariff, please tell us.
