SBCE Service Levels

Santa Barbarans asked for clean energy, and 100% Green is the answer.

100% carbon-free, greenhouse gas-free energy for a slight premium. To meet the City's goal of 100% carbon-free energy use and make a significant impact on climate change, most people are enrolled in.

Everyone can help the environment.

SBCE's Green Start rate plan offers clean energy at the lowest possible rates, and meets or exceeds state mandates for renewable energy-sourced power. Customers with financial assistance or those who want to keep their billing rates the same can choose Green Start

Solar+ is the best of all three options.

Take your clean energy commitment to the next level with Solar+, SBCE's add-on option for customers with solar and/or batteries. This program allows you to combine locally generated energy from your home or business's solar panels with either the 100% Green or Green Start plans.  Solar+ is SBCE’s equivalent to SCE’s Solar Billing Plan (SBP) or  Net Energy Metering (NEM) billing plans.

Solar+ customers are automatically enrolled in Solar+ paired with 100% Green, ensuring your energy use is entirely carbon-free.

Earn for Excess Energy: We SBCE pays  $0.0663/kWh for any excess energy your solar panels produce annually.

Flexible Options: If your solar system doesn’t generate all the electricity you need, choose between 100% Green for fully carbon-free energy or Green Start for at least 50% clean energy at standard Edison rates.
