Gas and Electric Bills and Resources

Cupertino residents and businesses typically receive a monthly bill from Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). There is a second section of your bill that is from Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE). The City of Cupertino does not set the price of gas or electric bills, but we do partner with PG&E and SVCE to help offer programs and support to our community.

Do you want to lower your carbon footprint? Upgrade to Green Prime

One easy change is switching your rate plan from SVCE's Green Start to Green Prime. What's the difference? Green Prime is 100% renewable energy, meaning there is zero carbon emissions that are generated from your electricity. Green Prime is an additional cost of $0.015 per kWh or about $5 per month.
