EBCE’s mission is to reinvest profits directly into East Bay communities creating local green energy jobs and clean power projects. We do this in several ways, including contracting with local businesses, independent contractors, and community-based organizations to plan, implement and execute a variety of programs in our service area.

In addition, EBCE periodically purchases wholesale electric energy and capacity from generators and suppliers, including local renewable and carbon-free energy.
