Community Power 代表我们的客户从可再生能源购买电力。SDG&E 负责将电力输送给您并维护电力线路。 Learn more about how it works.

Community Power customers receive one bill from SDG&E. Community Power appears as a line item on your SDG&E bill, but it is not an extra charge. It is merely replacing the electric generation charge that you would otherwise pay to SDG&E. You can view a more in-depth breakdown of your energy bill on our Understanding Your Energy Bill page.

Your average cost may vary. This estimate is based on the average monthly usage of 1,303 kWh and demand of 2.9 kW and the TOU-A rate schedule which is not reflective of all small commercial rates. The rates above reflect SDG&E rates effective June 1, 2025 and Community Power rates effective February 1, 2025.
