Clean Energy Can Power Everyday Moments and Help You Save

The selection of affordable electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow and with stackable rebates, you can save over $10,000 on a new EV plus the savings from lower maintenance and fuel costs. Drivers with low incomes could save over $20,000 when they go electric!

A Quick Refresher

First time hearing about us? SJCE has been the local clean electric generation provider in San José since 2019. Customers receive one electricity bill from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) that includes electric generation charges from SJCE. PG&E delivers electricity to you, maintains powerlines, and responds to power outages.

SJCE customers benefit from cleaner energy, competitive rates, local control, and customer choice. As a City department, we uphold a public service culture of transparency and accountability.
