Transitioning to Renewable Energy

Scott Haggerty Wind Energy Center in Altamont Pass

East Bay Community Energy’s power mix is mostly sourced from renewable energy and large hydropower. Our Board of Directors have established the goal of purchasing 100% clean power by 2030 — a full 15 years before the state's goal date.

Meanwhile, some of EBCE’s member cities have taken the bold action of transitioning customers in their jurisdiction onto 100% renewable energy service immediately, to accelerate the reduction of emissions and hasten the investment in wind, solar, and battery storage projects. In doing so, these cities set the “default” service level for customers as Renewable 100, EBCE’s service that is sourced from 100% California wind and solar, including the output of EBCE’s Scott Haggerty Wind Energy Center in Livermore. Any EBCE customer can choose our Bright Choice service if they prefer to save money on their PG&E bill each month.
