What’s the difference between the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) and Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E), you ask? The SFPUC is a Public-Owned Utility (POU) that prioritizes customers first by focusing on service and community involvement rather than profits. PG&E on the other hand is an Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) that prioritizes Wall Street investors over customers by paying their CEO, Patti Poppe $50 million a year along with many other things. Luckily, there’s a better option and that’s where Our City. Our Power. comes in!
