At Sonoma Clean Power, sustainable solutions mean real benefits. We source, or generate, cleaner electricity for our customers. Our default electricity service is 51% renewable and 91% carbon-free!
Once you establish service for your home or business through PG&E, your service will start automatically with SCP and your Sonoma Clean Power charges will be presented on your PG&E bill.
These are not duplicative charges, but charges for two different services: PG&E electric delivery service and SCP electric generation service.
If you want to know more about your bill, we invite you to review the video and sample bill below that explains the various charges.
Our customers care about a healthy environment and reliable, affordable electricity. That’s why we focus on providing straightforward, cost-effective options for clean energy that support our communities today and for the future. You can view the rates link below.

1. Account Number
This PG&E account number is needed to sign up for EverGreen service or to opt out and return to PG&E. Just use the 10 digits before the dash.
2. PG&E Electric Delivery Charges
This is PG&E’s charge for the delivery of electricity. The change includes transmission, distribution, and a variety of other fees and taxes. It does NOT include generation charges if you’re an SCP customer.
3. Sonoma Clean Power (SCP) Electric Generation Charges
This is SCP’s charge for generation – the cost of producing the electricity you use
4. Baseline Allowance
A measure of energy sold at the lowest price. Your baseline allowance is based on where you live, your heating source, and the season (summer or winter).
5. Generation Credit
This number is the amount that PG&E would have charged you for Electric Generation. This number is helpful in comparing SCP’s electric generation cost to PG&E’s electric generation cost.
6. Power Charge Indifference Adjustment
This fee is required by PG&E of all Sonoma Clean Power customers. It is intended to ensure that customers who switch to SCP pay for the above-market cost of energy that PG&E bought on their behalf prior to the change in service.
7. Franchise Fee Surcharge
This fee is collected by PG&E to pay for the right to use public streets to run gas and electric service.
8. Total PG&E Electric Delivery Charges
This is the sum of PG&E’s charges for electric delivery, which matches the charge on the summary page of your bill.

10. Generation Off Peak
Rates are the lowest from 9 PM at night to 4 PM in the afternoon. By shifting your energy use outside of 4 PM to 9 PM , you can reduce your bill.
11. Generation On Peak
Rates are at their highest because demand on the electric grid increases between the hours of 4 PM – 9 PM. Reduce usage between 4 PM in the afternoon and 9 PM at night to save on your electricity bill.
12. Energy Commission Surcharge
This fee is collected on behalf of the California Energy Commission and applies to all customers, regardless of service provider.
13. Total Sonoma Clean Power Electric Generation Charges

A renewable tariff is an electricity rate from Sonoma Clean Power that provides customers with cleaner power sourced from renewable resources like local geothermal, solar, wind, and small hydro. When you choose one of SCP’s renewable options, the electricity you use is matched with renewable energy supplied or procured on your behalf, helping reduce reliance on fossil fuels and supporting a cleaner energy future for Sonoma and Mendocino counties.
