Reduce Power, Save Money Friday

Reducing energy use from 2 to 6 p.m. Friday can earn Southern California Edison customers money off their electricity bill.

It's one of the utility's Save Power Days, which it holds up to 12 times yearly.

The program compares energy use during the four-hour stretch to the household's average usage during the same time on its three highest usage weekdays of the most recent five (excluding holidays or other Save Power Days).

If average electricity usage during the Save Power Day is lower, the customer earns a bill credit of 75 cents per kilowatt reduced.

Customers must sign up for Save Power alerts at SCE.com to participate in the program.

To do so, sign into an SCE account; click the "Savings Center" tab; click "Learn More" in the "Save Power Day Incentive" box; then follow enrollment directions.
