Business electricity rates
Clean, low-cost energy for your business, explained.

When you’re in business, every penny counts. We get it. That’s why we do everything we can to keep your energy rates as affordable as possible and keep profits and savings where they belong: in your business.
Our rates are cheaper than PG&E's. How? We’re a not-for-profit: it’s that simple.

We leave the profits and savings on your balance sheet. Our job is to provide affordable, clean, and reliable energy that helps your business grow.
Electricity Rate Options
Choose what’s best for your business
The default WestLight Energy service is our lowest-rate option: ECOplus, which gives you 100% clean electricity sourced from at least 50% renewable sources.
If you want your electricity to come from 100% renewable sources, you can easily switch to our ECO100 rate option, which costs 1 cent more per kWh.
If you are on ECO100 and would like to move to ECOplus, you can do that, too.

On Your Bill
Understanding your monthly bill
Simple: WestLight Energy sources your electricity. PG&E delivers it.
You may ask, “Why are my WestLight Energy electricity charges showing up on a PG&E bill?”
That’s because we use PG&E’s wires and poles to deliver our electricity to your business, which is why you see charges from both PG&E and WestLight Energy.
To make it easy for your accountant, you receive just one monthly bill from PG&E.
WestLight Energy’s energy generation charges, explained
Look for the line item on your bill that says “WestLight Energy Generation Charges” (see example below). This is your assurance that you’re getting cheaper and cleaner electricity from us. This charge would be higher if you used PG&E’s electricity. The rest of your bill is PG&E charges for infrastructure and other fees collected by PG&E.
