From environmental education and public art to outreach services, environmental justice, and land revitalization, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission's (SFPUC) Community Benefits team has spearheaded thousands of programs, countless community connections, and many meaningful conversations. What began as a bold vision has grown into a results-driven effort that strengthens neighborhoods in San Francisco and beyond, while advancing equity, justice, and sustainability.

Goodlett Place, San Francisco, CA 94102, at a Regular Meeting of the SAN FRANCISCO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION: Public Hearing, discussion, and possible action to adopt the proposed CleanPowerSF (Community Choice Aggregation program) electric rates and charges for electric customers of the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. The resolution to be presented for consideration at these hearings is:
As we bid farewell to 2025 and take some time to recharge our batteries, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) wants to take a moment to reflect on the successes of this past year. The SFPUC Power Enterprise continued to make progress on the City’s ambitious climate goals, while ensuring cleaner energy remains affordable and accessible through SFPUC's Hetch Hetchy Power and CleanPowerSF programs.
As San Francisco's not-for-profit clean energy provider, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) is committed to providing clean, reliable, and affordable electricity for our customers. That's why we are proposing to reduce rates by 25% for residential and large commercial customers, and 20% for all other customers, beginning in March.
