Mayroon Kang Mga Pagpipilian: Bakit Piliin ang MCE?
Not long ago, electricity customers in California had no say in where their power came from. One utility made the decisions, and customers simply received the bill. Today, that’s changed.
MCE was created to give communities a choice.
As a not-for-profit, locally governed electricity provider, MCE allows residents and businesses across Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, and Solano counties to choose cleaner energy while keeping decision-making close to home. That local control makes a real difference. Instead of distant shareholders, MCE is guided by a Board of local elected officials who represent the communities they serve. That means priorities like affordability, reliability, and sustainability are shaped by the people who live and work here.
Paano ito gumagana?
Choosing MCE doesn’t change how your electricity is delivered:
- PG&E continues to maintain the poles, wires, and infrastructure, and you still receive one bill.
- What MCE provides is the electricity itself—sourced with a focus on cleaner, more renewable options.
But MCE is more than just an energy provider. It’s an investment in the community.
How does MCE support the community?
Through innovative programs, MCE helps customers:
- Lower bills
- Improve energy efficiency
- Access clean energy technologies
From no-cost energy-saving upgrades for income-qualified households to rebates for electric vehicles and home electrification, these programs are designed to make clean energy accessible for everyone.
MCE also supports local job creation through workforce development initiatives, helping build a skilled, sustainable energy workforce right here in our region.
This community-first approach keeps energy dollars circulating locally, supporting residents, businesses, and projects that strengthen our neighborhoods.
How can I make a bigger impact with MCE?
For those who want to go even further, MCE offers Deep Green, a 100% renewable energy option sourced from wind and solar. Deep Green customers pay a small premium to power their homes or businesses with fully renewable energy. Half of the Deep Green premium is reinvested into local renewable energy projects, energy programs, and community initiatives.
That means your choice doesn’t just reduce your carbon footprint; it helps build a cleaner energy future right where you live.
At its core, MCE is about giving you control: the power to choose where your electricity comes from, how it impacts your community, and what kind of future you want to support.
Because now, you’ve got options — and they matter.
