Most San José residents and businesses are enrolled in GreenSource, SJCE’s standard service. With more renewable energy than the state average, GreenSource reflects the innovative and forward-thinking culture of Silicon Valley. Our customers can seamlessly take advantage of cleaner energy at competitive rates.
The energy content consists of 60% renewable energy and up to 95% carbon-free power. Non-renewable carbon-free sources are a combination of large hydroelectric and nuclear, the proportion of which will be confirmed by the end of 2022.
The remaining 5% is California grid system power. This electricity comes from unspecified sources, such as electricity traded through open-market transactions, that aren’t traceable to a specific generation facility. They may include renewables and hydroelectric.
Customers who wish to stay in GreenSource do not need to take any action. For those interested in making a bigger impact on climate change, you can upgrade to TotalGreen for 100% renewable energy. Customers can also enroll in GreenValue, our lowest cost option that costs the same as PG&E standard service. You can also return to GreenSource service at any time.
Switching services can be done in one of three easy ways, at any time:
Please note that you will need your PG&E account number, last name on the account, and ZIP code.
All CARE and FERA customers are automatically enrolled in our SJ Cares program to remain in GreenSource to receive higher renewable energy for the lowest price.
