Kung nakita mo na ang Friction sa MCE<\/em> serye ng mga artikulong inilathala sa Malayang Dyornal ng Marin<\/em> Sa Oktubre 2025, malamang na may mga tanong ka: Ano ang nangyayari sa MCE? Bakit nababahala ang board? Nasa krisis pinansyal ba ang MCE? Mula sa mga katotohanan sa industriya ng enerhiya na hindi gaanong maipaliwanag hanggang sa mga labis na pahayag ng pag-aalala, hindi tama ang mga artikulong ito sa pagtulong sa mga customer na maunawaan ang katotohanan ng MCE at ng aming trabaho.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Rekord ng Pagsubaybay ng MCE<\/h4>

Ang MCE ay palaging isang pagsisikap ng isang pangkat, na binuo at pinapanatili sa pamamagitan ng pakikipagtulungan. Nagsimula kami sa Marin County sa pamamagitan ng isang pagsisikap sa mamamayan na pinangunahan ng mga customer at tagapagtaguyod ng komunidad tulad mo na naghahanap ng mas malinis na mga opsyon sa kuryente. Sinimulan namin ang serbisyo sa 8,000 customer lamang sa ilang komunidad ng Marin bilang unang tagapagbigay ng serbisyo ng Community Choice sa California.<\/p>

Sa kasalukuyan, 24 na iba pang CCA ang sumunod sa mga yapak ng MCE, at sama-sama naming pinaglilingkuran ngayon ang isang-katlo ng mga customer ng enerhiya sa California \u2014 pinapalakas ang renewable energy sa buong estado, pinapabuti ang kalidad ng hangin, at binabawasan ang mga emisyon ng greenhouse gas. Bago ang MCE, ang tanging opsyon sa kuryente sa Marin ay ang PG&E, na nag-aalok lamang ng 12% renewable energy.<\/p>

Sa nakalipas na 15 taon, ang MCE ay:<\/p>

  • Nagbigay ng $80 milyon na matitipid sa bayarin ng customer<\/li>
  • Tumulong sa pagbuo ng mahigit 1,000 MW ng renewable energy sa buong California<\/li>
  • Naglingkod sa mga customer gamit ang dose-dosenang lokal na programa ng komunidad \u2014 mula sa pag-iimbak ng baterya sa paaralan hanggang sa pag-charge ng EV para sa maliliit na negosyo<\/li>
  • Nag-aalok ng matatag na mga rate sa kabila ng pabagu-bagong estado sa mga pamilihan ng enerhiya<\/li>
  • Nakakuha ng dalawang investment-grade credit rating at nakapagtayo ng matibay na reserba upang protektahan ang mga nagbabayad ng singil<\/li><\/ul>

    Kung ikaw ay isang kostumer ng MCE, nakakatulong ka sa pagbuo ng isang mas malinis na California at isang mas malakas na lokal na ekonomiya na maipagmamalaki mo. Bilang isang pampublikong ahensya na hindi pangkalakal, narito ang MCE upang maglingkod sa iyo \u2014 hindi upang lumikha ng kita para sa mga shareholder. Iyan ang kapangyarihan ng pagpili ng komunidad.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Mga Presyo at Gastos<\/h4>

    Una, mahalagang malaman na Ang MCE ay isang Community Choice Aggregation (CCA)<\/strong> programa. Nangangahulugan ito na ang MCE ang bumibili ng kuryenteng ginagamit mo, habang ang PG&E ay patuloy na humahawak ng pagsingil at nagpapanatili ng mga linya at alambre ng kuryente na naghahatid ng kuryente sa iyo. Makakatanggap ka pa rin ng isang singil mula sa PG&E, ngunit kasama rito ang magkakahiwalay na mga item sa linya para sa Mga singil sa henerasyon ng MCE<\/strong> at Mga singil sa paghahatid ng PG&E<\/strong>.<\/p>

    Sa madaling salita:<\/p>

    • MCE = Tagapagtustos ng kuryente<\/strong> (ang pinagmumulan ng iyong kuryente)<\/li>
    • PG&E = Tagapagbigay ng paghahatid at transmisyon ng utility<\/strong> (ang mga poste, alambre, at serbisyo sa customer)<\/li><\/ul>

      Mayroon ding pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng mga singil at mga gastos. Ang mga singil ay ang sinisingil sa iyo bawat kilowatt-hour para sa iyong kuryente \u2014 maging ito man ay paghahatid, henerasyon, o iba pang mga bayarin. Ang mga singil sa henerasyon ng MCE ay palaging mas mababa kaysa sa PG&E.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      Katatagan sa Pananalapi<\/h4>

      May ilang kamakailang artikulo na nagtaas ng mga katanungan tungkol sa pananalapi ng MCE. Narito ang dapat mong malaman: bawat taon, ang aming mga libro ay sinusuri ng isang independiyenteng auditor, at ang mga resulta ay makikita sa publiko sa aming website. Para sa Taong Pananalapi 2025, ang MCE ay nag-ulat ng $13 milyong netong kita, hindi isang pagkalugi.<\/p>

      Kinilala rin ng mga ahensya ng rating tulad ng Fitch Ratings at S&P Global ang matibay at matatag na posisyon sa pananalapi ng MCE na may mga investment-grade credit rating. Ang mga rating na ito ay sumasalamin sa nakikita natin araw-araw \u2014 isang organisasyong matatag sa pananalapi na itinayo upang maglingkod sa ating mga komunidad sa pangmatagalang panahon.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

      Ang 34-miyembrong Lupon ng mga Direktor ng MCE ay kinabibilangan ng mga lokal na halal na opisyal mula sa bawat lungsod at county na aming pinaglilingkuran. Tinitiyak ng istrukturang ito na ang bawat komunidad ay may boses sa paghubog ng direksyon ng MCE.<\/p>

      Bukas sa publiko ang lahat ng pagpupulong ng lupon, at ang bawat adyenda, patakaran, at dokumento ng badyet ay naka-post online. Ang lupon ay nagbibigay ng gabay at pangangasiwa, habang ang mga kawani ng MCE ay nagsasagawa ng pananaw na iyon sa pamamagitan ng pang-araw-araw na operasyon.<\/p>

      Ang magkakaibang pananaw ay isang kalakasan ng aming modelo. Nakakatulong ang mga ito sa MCE na manatiling tumutugon sa aming mga customer at nakabatay sa mga pinahahalagahan ng transparency, accountability, at serbisyo sa komunidad.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
