Commercial Rates
Clean energy and competitive rates.
You get both when you choose renewable and clean electricity from Silicon Valley Clean Energy. We partner with PG&E to deliver your electricity and ensure we provide transparent costs. The charges you see on your bill can be simplified into two categories:
Electric Generation: This pays for your source of power and how much electricity you’re using. Rates vary, depending on the type of service you choose: SVCE GreenStart, SVCE GreenPrime or PG&E.
Click here to view our small, medium, large and industrial commercial rates, and how our prices compare to PG&E’s generation rates.
Electric Delivery: PG&E still delivers your electricity on existing lines and maintains those lines. PG&E delivery rates are the same for everyone, both SVCE customers and PG&E customers.
PG&E does add additional fees to your bill and those are always included in the cost comparisons below. You’ll find a full explanation of all the items on your bill in Understanding Your Bill.

Rate Details
Electric generation rates are set by SVCE’s Board of Directors, a group of elected officials from each of the participating communities. The Board seeks community input before rate changes go into effect.
