We transitioned to Solar Power in February 2025. Although we are now utilizing solar energy, our electricity is still delivered through PG&E’s lines 24/7. The community’s Solar PSP provider agreement supplies a set amount of solar electricity at 10.6₵ per kWh, plus PG&E’s standard surcharges.
The Oaks Community has made the switch to solar energy — a change that brings real cost savings to residents while delivering dependable power in any weather.
Historically, PG&E electricity rates have ranged from $0.40 to $0.50 per kWh. At a rate of $0.50 per kWh, using 7,500 kWh would cost $3,750. Under our new solar rate—less than $0.106 per kWh—the same 7,500 kWh costs approximately $825. This results in an estimated annual savings of $2,875 per household.
PG&E rates are expected to continue increasing over the next 25 years (2050). Because our solar rate is locked in at under 11₵ per kWh, the financial benefits will grow as PG&E prices rise, providing long-term value and stability for our community.
