Pilot Programs
A sister company of San Diego Gas & Electric will participate in a Massachusetts pilot project offering residents and businesses a choice of whom they buy energy from, to help it prepare for California’s soon-to-be-deregulated energy market. Pilot programs are also underway in New Hampshire and Illinois.
Beginning Jan. 1, Enova Energy, a subsidiary of SDG&E;’s parent Enova Corp., and five other power companies will offer 10,000 Massachusetts residents and business customers three options: low-price, environmental sensitivity and other, including variable-rate pricing or added services.
To attract customers, Enova and the other power providers in the Massachusetts program will offer discounts of between 4% and 18% off current rates. Companies including Enova say they hope to make a profit, but they will absorb any losses on the power sales and equipment outlays resulting from the program.
