If the City joined MCE Clean Energy, customers in El Cerrito will receive, over a 5-month period, multiple notices about their new energy choice and their right to opt-out of MCE Clean Energy and stay with PG&E. If a customer does nothing, they will automatically be enrolled in MCE’s default “Light Green” service coming from 51% renewable energy sources, which is currently slightly less than PG&E’s comparable rates. Customers are also given a choice to “opt-up” to receive MCE’s “Deep Green” service, which comes from 100% renewable sources. PG&E will continue to deliver energy to your home or business, maintain the lines and wires, and provide billing services; MCE will ensure the electricity for El Cerrito's energy consumers is sourced from more renewable resources.
