    • Frequently Asked Questions

      Why Opt Up?

      When you opt up, you're supporting clean energy generation in California. Your home will be powered by 100% renewable electricity, meaning that there's no greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) associated with your electricity use. The more electric appliances you use, the greener your home - Learn more about how to Go All Electric!

      What is a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA)?

      Local governments all over California have established Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) programs. These not-for-profit organizations allow local communities to control how their electricity is sourced. See the map of Bay Area CCA's in the section above.

      Can I Opt Up through PG&E?

      Yes. PG&E offers a “Solar Choice” upgrade option to its customers.

      How much does Opting Up cost?

      Cost varies by energy usage, but for the average Bay Area residential customer upgrading to 100% renewable energy costs about $3-5 per month - about the cost of a latte!
