Competitive rates. Cleaner energy.
Have you noticed CleanPowerSF on your PG&E bill? That’s how you know you’re getting cleaner energy and competitive rates.
It’s not an additional charge. Charges for electricity on your PG&E bill are now simply divided into two parts:
CleanPowerSF Generation Charges for generating the amount of electricity you use.
PG&E Electric Delivery Charges for maintaining PG&E’s wires, infrastructure, and delivering electricity to your home. These rates are the same for CleanPowerSF and non-CleanPowerSF customers.
You’ll continue to pay your PG&E bill as usual. No separate payment is required for CleanPowerSF service.

Discount Rates:
Customers that are enrolled in CleanPowerSF will still receive their full CARE/FERA and Medical Baseline discounts. There’s no need to reapply, and there is no change in the discount rates.
