How it Works
SVCE works in partnership with PG&E. We buy clean electricity direct from the source—encouraging the kind of market growth and competition that results in more renewable energy sources and lower energy generation rates. PG&E delivers the electricity over existing power lines, continues to maintain the lines and provide billing and customer service as they always have. Your bill continues to come from PG&E, with SVCE’s lower generation charges replacing those from PG&E.

How do I enroll?
There is no need to sign up – you’re already receiving clean electricity at lower rates.
SVCE is the official electricity provider for the communities of Campbell, Cupertino, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Los Gatos, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, Morgan Hill, Mountain View, Saratoga, Sunnyvale and Unincorporated Santa Clara County. If you live in one of these thirteen communities and did not opt out, you are already receiving carbon-free electricity from SVCE.
If you opted out and would like to re-enroll, call us at 1-844-474-SVCE (7823) or email us at customerservice@svcleanenergy.org.
