it's four or five percent below pg and e. it will remain that way through the end of this fiscal year. no, calendar year. and it's available to anyone in the participating cities. we also have a 100% renewable and local product. we entered into a contract with pine kyle. it's maybe 20% more. that's available to anyone right now. we rolled out to 20,000 customers but if you want to sign up for the ever green product, you can do that. >> it's a sign up, not an opt out? >> it's a sign up program similar to marin clean up. our power sources, 33 percent renewable based on the portfolio standard. we have 37 hydro and 30 percent natural gas -- she messengered unspecified -- our board also designated no poll or power mix. again, much like marin, we have basic comparisons of the commercial system. the numbers are obvious, four or five percent lower for our green start and for our ever green and the same for our residential system. we do have a net energy meter program and it's identical to marin and if you see something good, you copy

. >> you were partnering with pg and e. >> whether you're with pg and e -- >> how green is the shell product. >> shell offered -- they provide 75% of our power supply right now and so since we offer 50%, renewable on the 100% renewable they're helping to meet those targets and shell helps us to do our scheduling. >> i see. you mentioned in your testimony that the kilo watt per hour cost, i think it was in the san [inaudible] airport -- what is it for the user in that rin -- marin. 7.9. do you know the state wide? ours is 7.9 and pg and e is 9.3. >> you were saving the marin residents 7 cents per month. >> i think it's closer to 90 cents so it's less than an hour. >> it's not that hard to subtract. yeah, i can do the subtraction. >> so you allege. i'm astonished by the rights you're getting because i was with the governor of hawaii and he was saying their rates were 50 cents per kilo watts. >> they have an interesting rate. >> yeah, it's called monopoly. >> thank you so much and i wish you good luck in your work. >> commissioner vietor. >> there was a substitution clause. >> right now

has that ever happened. >> the pg and e proposal is still before the california puc. it hasn't been approved. there was activity that caused the puc to make some method my -- some modifications but it should be before the california puc for approval some time in the summer, early fall. >> okay. >> they were supposed to have their program finalized and approve by the beginning of this summer, but that didn't happen. >> and the shape of that program, i assume is getting clearer over time? >> yes, as clear as things can be in that regulatory process, yes. >> i noticed that both marin -- that changes the risk profile because we have deep pockets of the general fund, one of the things that was kind of convenient about the shell contract is that they required that we basically fund our liabilities and fund their risk so that we internalize the risk. we've been talking that that's changing. i don't want an answer today really, but i would like an answer, is the risk profile really changing or is the way you have to fund it changing? so if the risk is the same, but now it's i

and pg and e adds on exit fees to our customer's bill. they're charged on a monthly basis based on the amount of electricity you use and they charge those to make themselves hole for contracts that they entered into for customers who have switched to a cca. that's important to keep in mind and when i'm telling you the total cost difference, we're keeping -- taking into account pg and e added fees as well. this is a commercial cost comparison and you can see light green and deep green is cheaper than pg and e for our average customer. and one of the other things that i think is really great about a cca program and it's a wonderful opportunity for local communities to utilize is the fact that it's a revenue generating entity and we're a public not for profit agency so we can reinvest our rate payer dollars instead of paying it to shareholder and dividends. we invest in a variety of different projects and programs. so far we've dedicated just under $40,000 towards customer rebates. anything that we offer to our customers are an addition to a

you know the pg&e customers. and in terms of opportunities for collaboration, and improvement, with the department of environment, cal referred to the financing option, that is certainly, promising and not just beyond bill financing option, but how we can really make sure that we are leveraging the go solar sf dollars in the best way. and that will be one of the areas that we will be focusing on for this coming year and on improvements for the go solar sf program. >> and here, on this slide, you can see, the go solar sf workforce, hires by zip code here in san francisco. and the larger bubbles, and near the zip code numbers indicating the larger number of residents who are employed in the workforce, through the workforce development program, on go solar sf projects. moving on then, to our customer municipal solar, mr. carlin at the opening of our day, talked about the power enterprise and we serve largely municipal targets and we serve at power provider for the hunters point neighborhood and the shipyard, project

business companies scored pg & e even worse. the feedback landed the company ninth out of ten and well below the average. not indicative of the safest and most reliable in the country, but appears the investments and ads are paying off. >> so we directly ask both business and residential customers, are you aware of the work the local utility is doing to improve safety? gas and electric actually has the highest response in the nation to that question. >> high awareness that he says should translate to better customer reviews down the road. >> we'll continue working on our system to make sure it's the safest. we're going to keep making the upgrades we've committed to make. and i think in doing that, we might see the scores increase, and i hope we do. >> and j.d. power's energy director told us it could take two, three or even four years for the work a utility company does to have a noticeable impact on overall customer satisfaction. bottom line, pg & e is not the safest and most reliable in the country. but if the it's on its way

this is a nationwide issue as well as an issue for pg&e. >> reporter: pg&e would not say how many substations need better security. security improvements at the metcalf substation are still in the engineering and permitting phase with construction beginning sometime this year. they deflected any questions regarding the investigation to the fbi. the public meeting is scheduledwell into the afternoon -- scheduled well into the afternoon. tom vacar will have more tonight on the evening newscast. back to you. >> thank you. >>> oakland police are investigating the deadly shooting of a woman in east oakland this morning. it happened just before 4:30 at 1200th avenue and international boulevard. officers arrived to find the woman dead at the scene. so far her identity has not been released and no arrests have been made. >>> it is a crime-fighting tool with big benefits. some people say it's also a big invasion of privacy. the fremont city council approved a $300,000 plan for 12 cameras and license plate readers last night to help police catch criminals. police say most burglaries are committed by pe
