The City of San Francisco held a government meeting on July 4, 2025, focusing on updates related to Clean Power SF and other environmental initiatives. The meeting began with a presentation from Deputy Assistant General Manager Michael Himes, who provided an overview of Clean Power SF's enrollment and service statistics. Himes reported that participation in the program remains stable, with no significant changes since the last update in September. Notably, sales of the Super Green product have increased to over 11% of annual sales, driven by strong interest from commercial customers.
Himes also announced that Clean Power SF has been recognized by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), ranking fifth among Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) for green power sales. This recognition highlights the program's commitment to sustainable energy solutions and reflects its growing popularity, with over 380,000 customers enrolled.
The meeting also included discussions about the California Community Power's recent workshop titled "Getting It Built Right," which aimed to address key considerations for renewable energy project development. Himes emphasized the importance of community engagement and collaboration among various stakeholders, including regulatory agencies and environmental advocates.
Following Himes' presentation, Executive Officer Jeremy Pollock provided an update on LAFCO activities related to Clean Power SF. He discussed the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund and San Francisco's efforts to support applicants seeking funding for environmental projects. Pollock also highlighted the ongoing development of a Green Bank in San Francisco, which aims to facilitate financing for clean energy initiatives.
The meeting concluded with a call for public comments, during which one speaker raised concerns about the definition of clean power and emphasized the importance of recycling energy. After no further public comments were received, the meeting adjourned.
Overall, the meeting underscored San Francisco's commitment to advancing renewable energy initiatives and fostering community involvement in environmental sustainability efforts. The next steps include further discussions on the Green Bank and continued engagement with stakeholders to enhance the city's clean energy landscape.
