Power Saver Rewards

Get Paid with Power Saver Rewards

Join millions of customers working together to protect and preserve our power and you can earn bill credits this summer for conserving energy during Power Saver Rewards events. Enrollment is free and participation is voluntary.

What is Power Saver Rewards?

The Power Saver Rewards program rewards you for voluntarily reducing your energy use during Power Saver Rewards events, which are called to help prevent summer outages when the electricity grid is stressed. By conserving energy during Power Saver Rewards events, you’ll earn $1 for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy you save.

Make a Difference

Power Saver Rewards events may occur between May 1 and October 31, lasting from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., typically on hot summer days. We will send you a notification the day before an event so that you may reduce your energy use.

By conserving energy, you’ll join millions of others in your community working together to keep the power on when the California electricity grid needs energy most. It’s easy to make a difference – for example, you can turn up your thermostat, turn off unnecessary lights, or limit the use of large appliances – the choice is yours!

Get Rewarded

Earn $1 for each kilowatt-hour (kWh) of energy you save during Power Saver Rewards events this summer. The more you save, the more you earn! A typical customer who lowers energy usage during eight events over an annual season could earn $20 in bill credits.* Your bill credits will be awarded at the start of each year as compensation for prior-year savings. You’ll also receive an end-of-season report showing a summary of the energy you saved, as well as information on your bill credit.

It’s easy – enroll and watch your savings grow.

*Incentives are based on typical customer program savings and may vary based on actual load reduction during Power Saver Rewards event(s) and the actual number of events. The Power Saver Rewards program is funded by Southern California Edison customers and administered by Southern California Edison, as ordered by the California Public Utilities Commission. The example of $20 per summer season assumes 0.5 kW (kilowatts) of load reduction per hour x 5 hours per event = 2.5 kWh reduced energy per event x $1/kWh  = $2.50 per event x 8 events per season (based upon the number of Flex Alerts in 2021) = $20 each Power Saver Rewards summer season.
