SmartDay events are called on especially hot days when demand for California’s electricity resources peak.
Participants of the SmartRate plan are asked to shift or reduce electricity usage between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. when SmartDays are called and will pay a higher electric rate during this time period.
PG&E will notify you before a SmartDay so you can plan to shift your electricity use.
Visit our Learn about SmartRate page for more information and to enroll in this plan.
