Cleaner Electricity. Lower Rates. Community Benefits.
East Bay Community Energy, also known as EBCE, is the new local electricity supplier in Alameda County. EBCE will provide cleaner, greener energy at competitive rates to our customers. EBCE will reinvest earnings back into the community to create local green energy jobs, local programs, and clean power projects.
In Alameda County, we know powerful and lasting change comes from the ground up. That’s why the County and 11 of its cities have come together to create a cleaner, greener energy supply for our communities. EBCE member cities include Albany, Berkeley, Dublin, Emeryville, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Oakland, Piedmont, San Leandro, and Union City.

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.
