You can choose to enroll with SDG&E, an aggregator, or a third-party DR provider.
SDG&E offers an online application for individual customers. Once reviewed and confirmed, you may receive emails and/or text notifications from SDG&E to reduce your energy use in response to ELRP events. If you’re able to successfully reduce your energy use, you will receive a bill credit based on your energy savings.
If you want to enroll with an aggregator, you will have to first join an aggregation which the aggregator enrolls in the ELRP. You will receive event dispatches and payments directly from the aggregator, rather than from SDG&E. Aggregators have different enrollment processes, so you should reach out to them directly if you are interested in joining their aggregation. In some cases, if you have a Distributed Energy Resource (e.g. battery energy storage, EV chargers, etc.) installed, your equipment provider may offer you an opportunity to join their aggregation. For information on aggregators registered with the California Public Utilities commission, please consult this website. Note that not all of these aggregators are participating in the ELRP.
