SDGE holiday rate calendar

SDGE holiday rates: every TOU holiday and exact date

SDGE Time-of-Use holidays use the weekend/holiday schedule on residential TOU plans. That usually means a longer super off-peak window during the day, but 4pm to 9pm stays on-peak.

Updated June 22, 2026 from SDGE Electric Rule 1 and Schedule TOU-DR1.

The holiday rule

SDGE lists eight TOU holidays: New Year's Day, President's Day, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Veterans Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day.

If one of those fixed-date holidays falls on Sunday, the following Monday is also treated as a TOU holiday. If it falls on Saturday, SDGE does not shift the holiday to Friday.

Plan-specific notes

TOU-DR1, EV-TOU-5, TOU-DR, TOU-ELEC, and similar three-period plans use the holiday super off-peak window from midnight to 2pm.

TOU-DR2 is different because it has no separate super off-peak period. Holidays still follow the plan's daily 4pm to 9pm on-peak window, with the remaining hours off-peak.

Baseline/non-TOU plans do not change energy prices by holiday hour, but bill totals can still depend on usage tiers, fees, and other charges.
