“Ultimately, what drives MCE is the same purpose that we all share. We want a better future, for ourselves, for the ones we love, for all things living on this planet,” said Dawn Weisz, MCE CEO. “The successes highlighted in this impact report demonstrate the great things that happen when communities are empowered to create their own choices. We are excited to celebrate our first ten years of service with our valued customers and partners and look forward to another decade of building a brighter future together.”
MCE led the way for the growth of CCAs around the state which now includes 21 programs responsible for over 170 communities, 10 million customers, and 3,600 megawatts of new clean energy.
MCE’s impact report features information across three main priority areas: environmental justice, workforce development, and the global reach local change can have. Key highlights include the following:
MCE is committed to creating more equitable communities while addressing climate change through renewable energy, energy efficiency, and local economic and workforce benefits. MCE serves diverse communities with unique opportunities to build an equitable future.
MCE’s Sustainable Workforce & Diversity Policy outlines MCE’s commitment to diversity and inclusion through contracting for power resources, procuring goods and services, and implementing hiring initiatives. The policy calls for quality training, apprenticeship, and pre–apprenticeship programs; fair wages; and the use of direct hiring practices that promote diversity in the workplace.
In 2002, MCE was a bold idea to help the planet and communities simultaneously. MCE’s vision was to provide alternatives to the costly global warming impacts of fossil fuels by investing revenues in renewable energy projects, good–paying jobs, and energy efficiency programs. This new model would deliver more than just clean power. It would offer the power of choice, the power of a transparent, publicly accountable agency, and the power of local economic reinvestment.
