"San José Clean Energy is focused on making energy more affordable for residents," said City Manager Jennifer Maguire. "The reduction in electricity supply rates reflects SJCE's commitment to customer affordability while sustaining clean, reliable service."
Communitywide, this reduced rate equates to more than $50 million in year-over-year savings for SJCE customers.
"San José Clean Energy exists because people demanded better - I know because I was one of them. Now, we're delivering cleaner energy at lower rates than our competition," said Mayor Matt Mahan. "At a time when Californians suffer the second-highest energy prices in the country, San José is showing we can lower costs for families and businesses while advancing our climate goals."
SJCE will maintain its standard GreenSource service at 62% renewable energy, exceeding state requirements while keeping electricity affordable for more than 350,000 residents and businesses citywide.
"As a community choice energy provider, SJCE is taking action to keep electricity affordable while maintaining financial stability and clean energy leadership," said Lori Mitchell, Director of San José Clean Energy.
SJCE electricity rates are set through a public and transparent process, including City Council review, City Climate Advisory Commission input, and public meetings. More information about SJCE rates, renewable power content, and bill assistance programs is available at www.SanJoseCleanEnergy.org
