Cleaner Energy
You’ll have more carbon-free power from wind, water and sun—at prices that are 1% below PG&E.
Reliable Service
SJCE is partnering with PG&E—we will buy electricity for you and PG&E will deliver it over existing utility lines. PG&E will continue to do maintenance, billing and customer service, as they always have.
Community Benefits
We’re a nonprofit—revenues will fund lower rates and local programs, including clean energy projects that create jobs, save money, and boost our economy.
