Electricity Options for Your Home

Fight climate change with one simple step – choose renewable electricity service for your home. MCE ensures your electricity comes from more renewable sources than ever before like solar, wind, geothermal, small hydro, and bioenergy. We offer 60% and 100% renewable options at competitive rates, or you can choose PG&E’s 38% renewable service.

If you are enrolled in a discount program such as CARE, FERA, Medical Baseline, or PG&E Employee Discount, you will continue to receive the same discount with MCE. No action is needed.

How MCE Works

MCE determines the source of electricity, called electric generation. MCE’s generation rates simply replace PG&E’s; they are not an additional charge. PG&E will continue to send one monthly bill. Instead of one electric fee that combines delivery and generation charges, the bill will show separate lines – one for PG&E’s delivery and one for MCE’s generation, which replaces what PG&E would otherwise charge.
