Summer rates are here! ☀️

Summer rates are in effect from June 1st to October 31st. Most residents and businesses in our service area are on time of use (TOU) rates, which means that during peak hours between 4pm-9pm, rates are the highest they'll be all year.

Whether you’re on a TOU plan or not, here are four helpful tips to save and stay cool this summer:
💡 Switch major appliance use to "off-peak" hours: before 4pm or after 9pm.
🌡️ Pre-cool your home by setting the thermostat lower in the morning, then to 78° during peak hours.
🪟 Close blinds and curtains during the hottest part of the day to reduce air conditioning usage.
⚡️ Double check your rate plan on PG&E and examine if you need to adjust your rate plan to better fit your schedule.

When Sonya Rio-Glick first tried a recumbent e-trike, she discovered a form of mobility she had been searching for her entire life. "Using an e-trike has been the most accessible form of locomotion that I’ve ever experienced.”

Her story reflects a growing movement. Adaptive e-bikes are changing the way people with disabilities get around, expanding what’s possible when it comes to independence, community connection, and quality of life.
