Utility Rates
Electricity rates have been lowered due in part to securing favorable natural gas contracts for the campus. Steam and Chilled Water rates remain unchanged. However, water and sewer rate increases are a result of increases from the City of San José which must be passed to the campus customers.

Methodology of Rate Calculations
The methodology used to calculate utilities rates is briefly defined as: the total cost of producing and distributing utilities services divided by the number of units delivered.
