“When we advance efforts to confront climate change, our diverse local economy gets a boost too,” said Gabriel Quinto, MCE Board Vice Chair and City of El Cerrito Councilmember. “The clean energy transition creates opportunities to benefit small businesses, and we’re seeing that play out in our communities.”

Of the $44 million total, MCE invested over $3.7 million in diverse businesses, almost $600,000 in CPUC certified small businesses, and more than $40 million in nearly 80 local businesses.

  • Works with diverse Chambers of Commerce and community-based organizations,
