Credit is due

Silicon Valley Clean Energy (SVCE), a Sunnyvale-based clean electricity provider, is issuing at total of $33 million to its customers through a one-time automatic bill credit.

Residential customers will receive a credit of approximately $50—nearly 24% of the average total monthly energy bill. Nonresidential customers will also receive a credit, which will be determined by the customers’ historic energy use. Credits will be automatically applied to upcoming PG&E bills for electricity used in August.

The SVCE Board of Directors identified affordable energy as a top issue for the agency and found the funding for the bill credits during its midyear budget review.

“Reinvesting in our communities is core to the SV Clean Energy mission,” said SVCE Board Chair and Los Altos Hills Councilmember George Tyson in a release. “We board members are here representing our communities, and we know that increasing costs have impacted our residents and businesses.”

SVCE generation services comprise approximately one-third of electricity bills, with the remainder coming from PG&E transmission and distribution and other statewide charges.
