San Diego Community Power is a community-driven, not-for-profit agency that brings cleaner, locally controlled electricity to the San Diego region. Serving nearly 1 million accounts across the cities of San Diego, Chula Vista, Encinitas, Imperial Beach, La Mesa, National City and the unincorporated areas of San Diego County, Community Power offers sustainable energy choices with a focus on equity and local reinvestment.
CCA stands for Community Choice Aggregation. In California, state law allows cities and counties to join together to purchase electricity on behalf of their residents and businesses. This local model gives communities more control over the source of their power and the programs that support clean energy, affordability and equity.
SDG&E continues to deliver the electricity, maintain the poles and wires and manage billing. The only change you see is that Community Power appears as a line item on your SDG&E bill – but it is not an extra charge. It merely replaces the electric generation charge that you would otherwise pay to SDG&E.
When you flip on a switch or plug in a device, Community Power is the agency that secures the electricity powering your home or business. SDG&E continues to deliver that energy, maintain the lines and send your bill. Here’s how the process works:

Community Power offers different service options, giving you the ability to choose the plan that best meets your needs:
Most customers* are automatically enrolled in PowerOn, which is 53% renewable and competitively priced compared to SDG&E’s standard service, allowing you to save while contributing to a sustainable San Diego region.
*Customers in the cities of San Diego, Chula Vista, Imperial Beach, La Mesa and National City, as well as the unincorporated areas of San Diego County are automatically enrolled in PowerOn. The City of Encinitas voted to automatically enroll customers within its city limits in Power100.
Power100 provides 100% renewable energy for a slight premium of $0.01 per kWh on top of our standard PowerOn rates.
For businesses who would like to choose 100% renewable energy, you have the opportunity to receive networking and co-branding opportunities through Community Power as a Power100 Champion. Learn more on our Power100 Champion page.
For businesses seeking LEED certification or who require Green-e® certification to meet their corporate social responsibility goals, consider choosing Power100 Green+. Learn more here.
For those seeking a more affordable service plan, PowerBase provides a 5% discount compared to SDG&E’s electricity generation rates. It has a similar renewable content as SDG&E’s standard service for customers who want lower costs, predictability in their electricity generation rates and to continue supporting their community-driven, not-for-profit clean energy provider.
