This month, SVCE is distributing $33M to customers through a special community reinvestment bill credit. The credit will automatically be applied to fall energy bills.  

All residential customers will receive $50, and non-residential customers will receive a credit based on their historic usage.  

“Reinvesting in our communities is core to the SV Clean Energy mission. I’m proud of the agency and board for recognizing the value in distributing these funds directly to customer bills.” - SVCE Board Chair George Tyson.

The Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) is leading a field study to gather data on methane emissions from natural gas appliances and distribution systems in California homes. 

South Bay homeowners who have two of the following are invited to participate: 

(a) Outdoor grill connected to a natural gas line (NOT a propane tank) that is in regular use, such as twice per week 

(b) Gas-powered heater for a pool or spa (hot tub) 

(c) Any of the following gas appliances: 

• Outdoor fireplace or fire pit 
• Indoor fireplace that vents through the wall (NOT roof) 
• A tankless water heater that vents at ground level 

Your home’s data will be combined with measurements collected from other homes in California to estimate the contribution to our state's greenhouse gas emissions.
