## What is SCE DR Alerts?

Welcome to the SCE Demand Response (DR) Alerts App! Download and set up the app to start receiving courtesy alerts for upcoming SCE DR events. Customize the app to receive alerts when a DR Event is scheduled, started, and/or ended based on your selected DR program and desired geographic area.

The SCE DR Alerts App can help keep you informed about the following program events:
- Summer Discount Plan (SDP) for Residential or Business
- Smart Energy Program (SEP)
- Critical Peak Pricing (CPP) for Residential or Business
- Real Time Pricing (RTP)
- Capacity Bidding program (CBP)
- Base Interruptible Program (BIP)
- Agricultural Pumping Interruptible (API)
- Emergency Load Reduction Program (ELRP)

PLEASE NOTE: This app only provides courtesy SCE DR alerts and does not provide any SCE account management features. SCE provides another app titled MySCE that lets you view your account, manage your energy use, and pay your bill online.

A network connection is also required for full app functionality.

### 4/5 — Sign up did not work with my usual email

*2025-05-14, version 6.0.1*

I tried to sign into the app with my email. This year, I entered my email address on the prodigy.net domain but the code that should be sent to my email never arrived. It worked well with an iCloud.com email. Please fix the sending to prodigy.net.

### 4/5 — May miss alerts because it forgets my zip code!

*2024-09-09*

This is for the Residential Summer Discount Plan. If I go into settings, enter my zip code, and go back to the settings screen, it shows my zip code. But if I quit the app and go back in, my zip code is gone, so it may not send me alerts when an event happens! Please fix the bug so that it remembers my zip code. As a work around I check “All Areas”.

### 2/5 — Used to work but not anymore

*2024-09-07, version 5.1.0*

In the past years it’s working fine and I get notifications on events for my zip code. Now the app no longer remembers the zip code and all settings are gone when the app is closed.

### 3/5 — No Alert

*2024-07-12, version 5.1.0*

I’ve been using this app for a few years now. All was good until recently. I don’t get any notifications of alerts for cycling off AC etc. I have the alerts turned on under Summer Discount Program and included my zip code. I’ve doubled checked my iPhone has the notifications for this app on. II couldn’t find any tech contacts so I’m writing here to hopefully get this resolved soon.

### 1/5 — Worthless

*2023-11-22, version 5.1.0*

So many updates to this app, yet they never fix the problem of it not saving the zip codes that you want alerts for (specifically Residential SEP program). In fact, even with All Zip Codes checked, alerts never come through. Kind of pointless if the whole purpose of the app is to send alerts about events.   It used to work just fine about a year ago. Don’t know what happened.

### 2/5 — Alert fonts too small

*2023-08-18, version 5.0.0*

The app and alerts are very helpful but the alert font is too small. It is very hard to read. Please increase the fonts.

### 1/5 — No Longer Works

*2023-07-18*

What is the point of the app if it won’t save the zip code for alerts after I close the app? You reopen the app, and the added zip code is gone, thus no alerts. It used to work just fine. Actually, doesn’t even send notifications when ALL zip codes are selected either.

### 1/5 — What is wrong with you people?

*2023-07-01, version 5.0.0*

Why are we as residents presented with all these commercial choices that have NOTHING whatsoever to do with residential operations?  Make a single friggin app built for an SCE residential customer ONLY, and leave all this other crap that none of us care about at home to this app only?

What’s so hard about that?

### 1/5 — Way too many notifications

*2022-09-07, version 4.5.4*

The notifications from CAISO are way too frequent and can’t be controlled by the app settings. Even with only 1 type of event turned on, they send multiple notifications multiple times from CAISO and it’s just plain annoying.

### 3/5 — why no PSPS notifications?

*2022-06-23, version 4.5.4*

Here you have the app along wit at least zip codes. That’s enough for at least a rudimentary PSPS alert notification through the app. 
Why isn’t it included?
