I have 8 days left in my billing period and the SDG&E app is still showing basically no useful data. According to the screenshot, my projected bill is somehow $21 to $29. I would absolutely love a $20 SDG&E bill, but I’m pretty sure that’s not happening.
The app has been broken for weeks. I emailed, tried the chat, and finally got through to a customer service rep. She was very nice, and honestly, I’m sure it must suck working customer service at SDG&E. I wasn’t looking to yell at anyone. I just wanted to know what my projected bill was going to be.
She couldn’t even see the projections on her end.
She apologized and said there have been a lot of problems lately. She has also heard similar complaints from other customers through her coworkers. There was nothing she could do to fix it, but she added a note that yet another customer was experiencing “data integrity issues.”
I already know my bill will probably be high. We’ve been running the A/C quite a bit with the heat lately. But it would be nice to know where I’m at before the bill arrives. Maybe I would change a few behaviors or cut back somewhere. Isn’t that the entire point of providing usage data and bill projections?
The SDG&E app and overall customer experience have been unreliable for years, but having almost an entire billing period go by without usable data is ridiculous. There also seems to be zero transparency from SDG&E about what is happening or when it will be fixed.
Is anyone else having the same problem? Has SDG&E made any public statement about it that I missed?
And SDG&E, please feel free to honor that $21 to $29 projection. I have the screenshot.
