SBCE Customer Programs & Benefits

SBCE Resilient

Customers that produce energy at their home or business receive a substantially higher net surplus compensation rate than Southern California Edison (SCE) Net Metering (NEM) Customers!

  • Customers that generate their own energy through solar, wind, biogas, and/or fuel cell generation to serve their energy needs directly onsite may receive financial credits on their electric bills for any additional energy fed back to the utility.
  • When SBCE customers produce more energy than they use, they will be compensated at a higher rate than SCE customers!
  • Supporting renewable energy generation in Santa Barbara builds local resiliency, which is a main priority for SBCE.
