It’s All About Choice

You’re paying for electricity. Now you can choose how it’s generated and what you pay.

Residents and businesses in our service area with existing PG&E accounts are automatically enrolled in SVCE’s GreenStart electric generation service. You can also choose to upgrade to GreenPrime or choose to remain with PG&E’s generation service.

SOLAR CUSTOMERS: Please see our rooftop solar page for more info about the SVCE Net Energy Metering program.

Welcome Back to Clean Energy

If you have opted out of Silicon Valley Clean Energy’s electric generation service, you can re-enroll to pay less for electricity and participate in your a locally-owned clean energy program that was founded to support your community.

Solar and Net Energy Metering Customers

If you have solar generation installed at your home or business, you can earn credits for the renewable power you generate and offset some or all of the charges you would normally pay for using electricity. SVCE’s Net Energy Metering (NEM) program pays higher rates for surplus electricity than PG&E does.

If you already are a NEM customer with PG&E, your account is automatically enrolled in the SVCE NEM program. PG&E will true-up your account at the time of your enrollment.
