Solar Choice

Solar energy is purchased from a pool of solar projects in Northern and Central California.

You can elect to purchase renewable energy from a specific project within PG&E's service territory.

You can enroll through PG&E by calling 1-877-743-8429 or signing on to your online account and can begin supporting solar energy generation in early 2016.

PG&E will post a list of participating renewable developers online so you can contact them throughout 2016.

You can elect to purchase solar energy to match either 50% or 100% of your energy use.

As early as 2016, you will be able to contract directly with developers for a desired amount of renewable energy, between 25% and 100% of your annual use. The Regional Renewable Choice projects are estimated to begin delivering energy in late 2017 or 2018.

Customers will receive a modest charge on their PG&E monthly energy statement within a couple of billing cycles. Find out how it would impact your energy statement or download the Product Content Label and Price, terms and conditions (PDF, 1.4 MB) for more details.

Renewable developers will invoice you directly for your renewable power. In turn, you will receive a bill credit on your monthly PG&E energy statement when projects begin delivering energy in late 2017 or 2018.
