Unlike most electricity services that have rates that change over time, Local Sol offers a guaranteed, long-term rate. This rate is directly tied to what we pay the people who produce the energy.
This power is produced at the Cooley Quarry Solar Project in Novato. It’s part of our Feed-In Tariff program, which fosters sustainable energy development in the communities we serve.
Local Sol participation is limited to about 300 customers due to the amount of solar power available from the Cooley Quarry project. Customers are enrolled on a first-come, first-served basis. Although Local Sol is at capacity and is closed for enrollment, Deep Green, our 100% renewable option, is available.
The Local Sol rate is $0.142/kWh for all customers. For the average residential customer on an E-TOU-C (time-of-use) rate schedule, that typically is about $175.73 total per month.
The Local Sol rate is directly tied to the cost of energy acquired through MCE’s Feed-In Tariff contract with the solar developer. As a result, the Local Sol rate will not increase over the 20-year term of the contract between MCE and the solar developer (beginning January 1, 2015, through and including December 31, 2035).
PG&E will continue to send your monthly electricity bill. Generation charges for Local Sol will be included on your bill as a separate line item.
Yes. Customers may opt out of Local Sol at any time. There is no minimum term length associated with participation in Local Sol. If you choose to switch to another MCE service option, such as Light Green or Deep Green, no fee will apply. Customers who choose to switch to PG&E service after they have been with MCE for more than 60 days are subject to the same one-time $5.00 (residential) or $25.00 (commercial) fee that currently applies to all other MCE service options.
