WHAT’S NEW
EBCE Rates Update
Effective July 1, PG&E has slightly increased its rates. EBCE is updating our rates in order to retain our current value proposition. Accounts on EBCE’s Bright Choice service will continue to receive a 1.5% discount to PG&E’s new rates, EBCE’s Brilliant 100 will be priced at parity with PG&E’s new rates, and EBCE’s Renewable 100 will still be an additional $0.01/kWh. To see updated rates, please see our rate sheets.
EBCE expands its renewable energy and storage portfolio with three new contracts
Three new contracts have been approved by EBCE’s Board on July 17, 2019, including an energy storage contract on low-income housing. Sunrun, Inc. will develop several megawatts of solar and more than two megawatt-hours of batteries on more than 500 low-income housing units by 2022. See more here.
