SDG&E Electric and Gas Franchise

Power Lines

In June 2021, the San Diego City Council approved the electric and gas franchise agreements with San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E). The Franchise is a 10-year agreement with the option to extend for an additional 10 years and allows SDG&E to use the public right of way to install and maintain the infrastructure - such as pipes, poles and wires - necessary to provide energy to San Diego's residents and businesses.

The Franchise Agreements also include an Energy Cooperation Agreement (ECA). The ECA works to ensure alignment with the City’s Climate Action Plan (CAP) goals and advocates for equity programs for rooftop solar, affordable housing and energy efficiency. Additionally, the ECA ensures transparency by requiring regular meetings and presentations to City Council regarding energy rates, major projects, customer equity and climate equity.

Franchise Compliance Review Committee
The Franchise Compliance Review Committee (committee roster) was created in accordance with Section 6 of the Franchise Agreement. This Committee is established every two years to ensure compliance with the terms of the franchise and to provide City Council with recommendations on the renewal for the secondary term of the Franchise.
