The electrical grid that we know today might not be possible without Edith Clarke. The first female electrical engineering professor in the US, she invented the Clarke calculator, a graphing calculator that enabled engineers to solve equations involving electric current, voltage, and impedance 10 times faster than by hand. Her electrical expertise also contributed to the design and building of hydroelectric dams, including the Hoover Dam, and paved the way for modern grids.

The 2026 Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (Re-bid) (PUC.PRO.0223(R), Request for Offers (“RFO”), seeks to purchase energy and associated Environmental Attributes, Capacity Attributes, (and Resource Adequacy capacity, if available) from new Eligible Renewable Energy Resources located within 5 miles of an eligible Disadvantaged Communities for CleanPowerSF, San Francisco's Community Choice Aggregation program.

SAN FRANCISCO — Moody’s Ratings has upgraded the credit rating for San Francisco’s CleanPowerSF community choice energy program to A1 from A2, with a stable outlook. The upgrade reflects CleanPowerSF’s stronger cash reserves, steady financial management, and the program’s ability to adjust rates in a changing energy market. CleanPowerSF also has no outstanding debt.

SAN FRANCISCO – The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) approved an unprecedented reduction in its CleanPowerSF electricity rates, cutting generation charges by 20% to 25%. The rate cuts will take effect March 1.

With winter in full swing, many of us are hunkering down indoors and using more electricity to power our homes and businesses. Unfortunately, during this time when we need clean energy most, PG&E is significantly increasing customer costs. That’s why CleanPowerSF is taking action to lower our generation rates by 20-25% to offset PG&E’s increased costs and provide stability for our customers.

As we bid farewell to 2025 and take some time to recharge our batteries, the Power Enterprise wants to take a moment to reflect on our successes this past year. We continued to make progress on the City’s ambitious climate goals while ensuring cleaner energy remains affordable and accessible through CleanPowerSF.

As we look back on 2025, one theme stands out: San Francisco’s clean energy future is not just a plan on paper—it is happening now.

As San Francisco's not-for-profit clean energy provider, we are committed to providing clean, reliable, and affordable electricity for our customers. That's why are proposing to reduce rates by 25% for residential and some large commercial customers, and 20% for all other customers, beginning in March.
