Why SuperGreen?
It’s easy. Upgrading to SuperGreen takes less than 5 minutes. All you need is your CleanPowerSF/PG&E bill.
It’s affordable. For a typical small business, it’s about $7 more per month.
It’s good for the planet. All the electricity you use will come from renewable sources like solar and wind.
Meet Your Sustainability Goals and Requirements
San Francisco’s 100% Renewable Electricity for Commercial Buildings Ordinance requires certain commercial buildings to obtain all electricity from 100% renewable sources by 2030. CleanPowerSF can help you meet City policy requirements, LEED certification, or your company’s sustainability goals.

Resources
The Green-e® Energy Standard requires that renewable electricity generated in or delivered to California must be matched with greenhouse gas (GHG) emission allowances retired on behalf of the generation. This ensures that California customers are using renewable electricity that contributes to GHG reductions above and beyond what is required by state regulatory policies. In 2024, the pool of free voluntary allowances from the state’s Voluntary Renewable Energy Program (VREP) was depleted, and there is uncertainty around when more allowances will become available. The Green-e® Governance Board has approved a waiver allowing Green-e® certified products with VREP-eligible 2026 supply to not purchase GHG allowances to make up for the lack of free allowances. As a result, California allowances will not be retired on behalf of calendar year 2026 renewable MWh generation provided to customers of SuperGreen, and this product therefore supported compliance with state GHG reduction programs rather than going above and beyond statewide emissions regulations.
