2. How Electric Service Works
MCE Generation
PG&E Delivery
Same Service
Slide topic: how it works
All electric customers’ bill include generation and delivery services.
MCE takes over PG&E’s role of electric generation for customers, supplying more energy from clean, renewable power sources.
PG&E continues to deliver the electricity from the grid to your home or business, address service outages, maintain the wires, and send your bill, which will include MCE’s generation service.
The end result means you get to enjoy the same, reliable electric service AND now you have access to more renewable energy choices.

3. With CCA Before CCA Choice of electric service provider
Default service = You decide (>50% for us)
Community-based decision-making (via Board Members)
With CCA
No choice of electric service provider
Default service = 25% renewable energy
Investor-owned decision-making (via shareholders)
Before CCA
Note: Southern CA Edison (2015) is 25% renewables; 41% unspecified sources of power, according to CEC

4. U.S. Community Choice 7 states adopted 3 states considering
CCA is not a new, but is a tested, concept – since 1990s

MCE was the first community choice energy program to launch in California. Since then, the model has spread to other regions in California.
Clean Power SF has recently launched, and Peninsula Clean Energy and Silicon Valley Clean Energy are expected to start serving customers later this yea.

10. New California Renewables
24 Projects 813 megawatts
$1.6 Billion committed
535 MW new solar
266 MW new wind
12 MW new biogas
$1.6 billion has been committed by MCE/project partners to develop and construct these CA renewable energy projects.
$903 Million: new solar
$665 Million: new wind
$17 Million: new biogas (waste-to-energy)
*MW Totals above include contracted energy load to serve possible additional communities in MCE’s inclusion period.
MCE’s 24 new CA In-State and local projects will power 357,445 homes per year.
Purpose: making a difference locally and in California. These projects show the demand for California renewable power that MCE has created through its policies.
