What it Buys You

If you’ve explored energy efficiency methods to reduce the overall amount of electricity required to power your business, you know that most of these require an investment up front. All of them can produce big energy-savings payoffs in the long run, but the timing has to be right for it to make business sense.

If now is not the ideal time for you to invest in energy efficiency measures, you can choose SDCP’s PowerOn as a perfect, no-additional-cost alternative. Our automatic enrollment service level is 50% renewable, 5% greenhouse gas free, and a completely affordable choice for cleaner energy for your business—whether it’s large, small, or mid-sized.

Go Even Greener

If you’re ready to make just a small investment, consider upgrading to our premium electricity service level, Power100. This 100% renewable service costs less than a penny more per kWh, but it gives you a powerful marketing opportunity with your customer base. Show your customers that you share their values of good health and environmental justice, and you’ll earn their respect and support. As a Power100 customer, you can enroll in our Power100 Champion program to get recognized as a leader!

If your account resides in the City of Encinitas, you have the choice to stay in Power100, opt down to PowerOn (50% renewable energy), or opt out.

Joint Rate Comparison

As a part of our shared commitment to provide energy options to our customers, San Diego Community Power (SDCP) and San Diego Gas & Electric® (SDG&E®) have jointly created a Joint Rate Comparison of our typical electric rates, average monthly bills and electric generation power sources. The most recent Joint Rate Comparison will be made available in April 2023. 

The Joint Rate Comparison depicts estimated costs based on average customer usage by rate class. Individual customer results may vary based on, but not limited to, usage, distribution, location, and generation load size.
