 If you have a small or mid-sized business, be on the lookout for your specific details on transitioning to a new Whenergy® pricing plan. Your notice will be sent by SDG&E letting you know what plan you'll transition to. You can opt out to another available plan anytime during the transition period. You will be switched to a new pricing plan between November 1, 2015 and April 30, 2016.

 The Energy Innovation Center's Workforce Education & Training program offers individualized help to Trade Professionals, associations and business & residential customers through industry-specific seminars, workshops and certification courses.
