Delegate(s)

If you are the primary account holder, and want to allow another person or third-party to act as your representative or delegate in connection with My Account, you may grant access to a guest user or delegate to your My Account online profile and services such as viewing and managing your bills, payments, and service requests online.

Online Account Management Service

My Account allows you or your delegates (if applicable) to access online services specific to your SDG&E account(s) or accounts authorized to you as a guest user or delegate. Available services under the My Account umbrella include online billing and payment, as well as other account-related information and analysis tools (Some of such services are also available, in whole or in part, without the use of My Account). SDG&E may, in its sole discretion, add additional online services to My Account, in the future.

SDG&E reserves the right to modify or discontinue any or all services or features of My Account at any time without notice, or to offer specific programs only to customers meeting applicable qualifications. Subject to satisfying the qualifications for a particular program, you may elect to use one or more of the features available without being obligated to use them all.

Moreover, by clicking the “I Agree” checkbox when registering for My Account, you are confirming that you accept these My Account Terms and Conditions (or any future modifications thereof) – as a pre-condition to your being granted access to My Account. When SDG&E determines you meet the above requirements, or the requirements stated after this for any following online utility service, you will receive an e-mail message from SDG&E confirming your registration in My Account.

Password Guidelines

The unique User ID and password (collectively, “Login Credentials”) selected by you to access My Account must be held on a confidential basis by you and not given to other people. Anyone with knowledge of your Login Credentials can gain access to My Account and all the services available within the account.

Transactional and Promotional Notifications from SDG&E

By registering for My Account, you will receive bill ready and other transactional notifications, for which you cannot opt-out of. You will also be enrolled in promotional email notifications, which you may opt-out of at any time. These notifications will be sent to your indicated My Account email address on-file. Notifications may also be available by secondary email, text or voice. You may manage and/or update your preferences and contact information on the Notifications & Alerts page(s) and your contact information on your Profile

Contact Information and Banking Changes

As a My Account user, it is your responsibility to ensure that the contact and other required information in your user profile is current and accurate, and any changes thereto are updated promptly. These changes include, but are not limited to, your name, address, phone number and email address. Changes can be made either within the My Account portal or by calling (800) 411-7343.

In the event that your bank or financial account (“Bank Account”) information changes for any reason, you are obligated to promptly notify SDG&E by entering these changes within the secure Bank Accounts screens. If you have set up recurring payments to occur automatically according to a specified frequency, referred to as Auto Pay, these payments will continue to be processed against your current Bank Account(s) until your change notice has been received and processed by SDG&E. One- time payments you have initiated through My Account will also be processed against your current Bank Account(s).

Although SDG&E will not add charges for your participation in this online program, you are solely responsible for the accuracy of your current banking information and for payment of any charges added to your Bank Account by your bank or financial institution as a result of your participation in My Account.

In addition, if your payment is ever rejected, SDG&E will pass through the charges assessed for such rejection, and will add a $7.00 returned payment fee on your next bill. Your financial institution may impose other charges for which you will be liable. SDG&E also reserves the right to terminate your participation in My Account if your payment is rejected more than once within any consecutive 12-month period.

Online Billing and Payment

Online billing allows you to view bills for the SDG&E account(s) linked to My Account. Online payment allows you to pay your SDG&E bill(s) online. Text to Pay is a text-based service whereby SDG&E presents your full outstanding bill amount via a text message sent to the mobile number you have provided to us in My Account. Taking part in online payment requires you to both:

(a) provide the current effective banking information for your designated Bank Account to SDG&E; and

(b) make an online payment of your SDG&E bill(s) by deduction from your designated Bank Account(s).

• You will automatically receive an email notification when your SDG&E bill is issued. SDG&E will forward any late payment, collections or shut-off notices through U.S. Mail.
• Paperless billing can be established when starting service, registering for My Account or enrolling from your My Account profile.
• Bill payment will accept payment amounts of $1.00 or greater.
• Payments made Monday through Friday before 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time will post to your account the same day. Payments made after 7:00 p.m., or on weekends or holidays will post to your account on the evening of the next business day. (Business days are Monday through Friday, except for banking holidays.) To avoid late payment please ensure that your payment is made prior to 7:00 p.m. on the due date of the bill.
• In the event of any change to your email address or mobile number used for Text to Pay, you are obligated to promptly notify SDG&E by entering this change within the secure Profile section of My Account. You must provide SDG&E your current email address(es) to permit SDG&E to forward your bill ready notification to your email box and your current mobile number to permit SDG&E to forward your amount due to your mobile device by text.
• Except as may be necessary to facilitate and complete the agreed online bill payment from your designated financial institution, any information obtained by SDG&E in connection with your use of My Account services, will only be disclosed in accordance with SDG&E’s Privacy Policy.

Pricing Plan Enrollment

SDG&E will switch the selected meter to the indicated new pricing plan. Your new pricing plan may have different costs based on the time of day or season, and any existing bill protections would true-up or end at the time of this change. For specific details, please review the tariff. Additionally, your new plan may include Reduce Your Use days with Reduce Your Use alerts.

In signing up for a new pricing plan, you acknowledge and understand that the price comparisons provided to you with this website’s online pricing tools and/or a Personalized Plan Comparison are projections based on historical usage and that actual benefits may change due to unknown circumstances, such as changes in future usage, equipment or local weather conditions.

You further understand that the commitment period for this new pricing plan is one year from the pricing plan effective date. You may notify us through our Customer Care Center up to 60days from your pricing plan effective date if you would like to return to your previously effective pricing plan, pending your eligibility and whether the pricing plan is still open to new enrollment. After 60 days, the new pricing plan will remain in effect until the end of the one-year commitment period. After that one-year period you can change to any other eligible plan by logging into My Account, calling our Customer Care Center or completing a paper enrollment form. Your pricing plan effective date is based on your next scheduled meter read date and verification that you are eligible for the pricing plan selection.

If your pricing plan becomes unavailable in the future for any reason, you will be notified of your options in advance of any changes.

Scheduling Appliance Service Requests

You may place an online request to have an SDG&E service technician visit your home or business to check, or in some circumstances, repair, your gas appliance(s). Emergency requests cannot be taken online. During the day, an adult (18 years or older) should be on the premises for any scheduled visit, but you may make advance alternate arrangements to have the service technician access the appliance(s). After dark an adult must be at the premises, or the service technician will not enter. SDG&E assumes no liability in accessing your home or business, even if a key is left to provide access.
