San Diego customers are handicapped by some of the highest energy costs in the continental US. Today's regulated, monopoly Investor-Owned Utilities (IOUs) are slow to respond to more affordable, clean energy choices and to the imperatives of the climate crisis.
These costs and delays are imposed on customers of all sizes. High rates, demand charges, rate increases, more demand charges. And lost opportunities -- to self-generate, add storage, develop more reliable and controllable micro- and nano-grids, while realizing a fair return on invested capital. Technologies now support these solutions. IOUs do not. |
Community Electricity Choice provides an alternative. Marin Clean Energy and Sonoma Clean Power proved the concept. Lancaster Choice Energy followed. San Francisco, San Mateo and Los Angeles Counties are next. Why not San Diego?
It's time to accelerate progress toward a new energy future. Let's make every kWh renewable. Join us! |
If you think 100% renewable energy costs more, think again.
100% renewable energy ("Deep Green from Marin Clean Energy") is less expensive than the 22% Renewable supply from PG&E.
WHY? Because natural gas, oil and coal have long-term price volatility and pollution costs in California.

Note: In California, "Additional Fees" means that the Investor Owned Utility will charge a customer for energy that the customer no longer buys. Named the Price Charge Indifference Adjustment, it ought to be called the Price Charge Outrageous Adjustment because the utilities are gaming the tariff computation to make a CCA Monthly Cost uncompetitive with respect to an IOU's Monthly Cost.
