Chula Vista electricity and gas rates
Who supplies power and gas to Chula Vista houses and what a typical house uses: about 400 kWh of electricity and 24 therms of gas a month.
Electricity: SDG&E
Schedule TOU-DR1 is SDG&E's standard schedule for residential customers; a typical household is most likely on this rate. SDG&E's April 2026 rate alert puts the annual average bundled bill (including SDG&E's own generation charge) for a typical non-CARE bundled residential customer using 400 kWh per month on schedule TOU-DR1 at $194 a month, excluding the climate credit. Base Services Charge: $0.79343 per day. San Diego Community Power is the default electricity provider for the City of Chula Vista; its generation charge replaces SDG&E's, and SDG&E continues to charge for electric delivery on one SDG&E bill.
| Charge | Price |
|---|---|
| Fixed charge | $24.13 a month |
| Per kWh | 42.47¢ |
Gas: SDG&E
SDG&E's bundled residential average gas rates (which includes gas transportation, Public Purpose Program Surcharge and gas commodity costs) are increasing from $2.767/therm to $2.768/therm in March 2026. Core procurement rates are established monthly and may be higher or lower. Current residential fixed charge for SDG&E: $0.13 per day (non-CARE, September 2025).
| Charge | Price |
|---|---|
| Fixed charge | $3.95 a month |
| Per therm | $2.5469 |
