What is the Cost for CleanPowerSF Service?

CleanPowerSF continues to offer cheaper rates than PG&E for generation service. The table below shows what a typical small business in San Francisco spends on their monthly summer bill.

This compares electricity costs for an average residential customer in the CleanPowerSF/PG&E service area with an average monthly usage of 1,260 kWh. This is based on an B-1 rate schedule for CleanPowerSF’s published rates as of July 1, 2023 and PG&E’s published rates as of March 2024. Please note that due to rounding, the sum of each individual component may not exactly match the values in the Average Total Cost Per Month rows.

*Additional PG&E Fees refer to the Power Charge Indifference Amount (PCIA) and the Franchise Fee Surcharge (FFS). For more details, view Understanding Your Bill.
