Introducing Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE)

Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE) is redefining the local electricity market, providing our residents and businesses with new clean energy choices—renewable and 100% carbon-free electricity at competitive rates. Twelve communities in Santa Clara County formed SVCE, creating a community-owned agency. For these communities, SVCE is now your official electricity provider. 

We work in partnership with PG&E. We buy clean electricity direct from the source—encouraging the kind of market growth and competition which results in more renewable energy sources and lower energy generation rates.  PG&E delivers the electricity over existing power lines, and continues to maintain the lines and provide customer service as they always have. Your bill continues to come from PG&E, with SVCE generation charges replacing those from PG&E.
