The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission approved an unprecedented reduction in its CleanPowerSF electricity rates, cutting generation charges by 20% to 25%. The rate cuts will take effect March 1.
The rate reduction applies to the CleanPowerSF portion of customers’ electricity bills and helps offset approximately 15% to 25% increases in PG&E delivery and other electricity charges billed by PG&E on the same bill as CleanPowerSF service.
“San Franciscans shouldn’t have to choose between reliable clean energy and affordability,” SFPUC General Manager Dennis Herrera said. “While we do not control PG&E’s delivery rates, CleanPowerSF focuses on the part of the bill we do provide – the clean energy. We prioritize local families and businesses over shareholder profits, which is why we moved up our annual rate review and delivered meaningful relief to our customers. As we mark 10 years of providing clean power to San Francisco’s homes and businesses through CleanPowerSF, the SFPUC remains focused on affordability, cleaner air, and a healthier environment.”
