SFPUC reports Clean Power SF enrollment growth, says PG&E rate changes will slightly raise bills
Summary
SFPUC's Assistant GM for Power reported enrollment of about 80,000 accounts in Clean Power SF, low opt-outs, growth in the Super Green product, and that PG&E rate changes will raise Clean Power SF residential Super Green bills by about 1.9%. The commission will revisit rates in April.
Barbara Hale, Assistant General Manager for Power, told the commission Jan. 10 that Clean Power SF has enrolled roughly 80,000 accounts with a 2.5% opt-out rate and that Super Green subscriptions continue to grow. She said PG&E's January rate filing resulted in smaller-than-projected impacts on Clean Power SF customers: "Bills for the average residential Clean Power SF customer in our green program will be about 1.9% higher," Hale said, noting that earlier projections had been closer to 5%.
Hale described a Feb. 1 California Public Utilities Commission hearing on community choice aggregators and said SFPUC was coordinating with CalCCA members to participate. She also flagged a potential PG&E change to its Solar Choice product that would narrow the previous bill-savings advantage of SFPUC's Super Green offering for some commercial customers, while residential Super Green customers would still see a modest savings compared with PG&E's 100% renewable product.
Commissioners asked clarifying questions about impacts by customer type; staff said the commission will return to rate issues in April and will monitor additional PG&E filings expected in the spring.
