Your local source for more affordable electricity
Driven by community, focused on clean energy.
New Name, Same Electricity Provider
Peninsula Clean Energy is now WestLight Energy
We have updated our name to be clearer and better reflect the communities we serve in San Mateo County and Los Banos. While our name has changed, our mission to decarbonize and our customers’ service and rates are staying the same. We’ll continue to offer ways to help our customers save money and use clean energy at home, at work, and in their daily lives.
The Difference Between WestLight Energy and PG&E
WestLight Energy purchases clean electricity. PG&E delivers it to you.
Being a WestLight Energy customer means you get cheaper, cleaner electricity. We purchase electricity from clean, renewable sources at more affordable rates. Then PG&E delivers it to your home or business using its poles and wires.
To keep things simple, you get one bill from PG&E with our charges for electricity generation and PG&E’s charges for delivery. There is no additional cost for getting your electricity from us. In fact, we do it for less than PG&E—and it’s cleaner!

Understanding Your Bill
Keeping it simple: One bill for everything
If you see “WestLight Energy” on your PG&E bill, that means you’re getting cheaper and cleaner electricity from us.
Your monthly bill only has one charge for the electricity you use. That’s from us. The rest of the charges on your bill are from PG&E for delivery and other fees.
Here’s what to look for on your bill:
“Electric Generation”
If you see this line item on your bill, that’s a good thing! It means you are getting more affordable electricity from us. It’s not an extra fee—it’s lower-cost electricity.
All other line items on your bill are PG&E’s delivery charges and other required fees.
