This is the second straight year the power company has applied the credits to customers' bills. In 2017, the company distributed approximately $1.4 million in credit.
SDG&E said in a statement the credit started being applied in mid-June and expects to finish applying the funds in full to customers' bills by early August.

The funding comes from the Low Carbon Fuel Standard Program run by the California Air Resources Board.
