5 Accessibility Innovation
How MCE Goals Address Values and Risks
1. Advance renewable energy and equity-informed policies to ensure the clean energy transition doesn’t leave historically underrepresented communities behind.
2. Deepen leadership on energy equity and affordability for the State and other CCAs, enhancing opportunities for communities most impacted by fossil-based generation to benefit from the clean electricity economy.
3. Continue to innovate with new technologies and provide thought leadership to the State to boost electrification and affordability (i.e.: VPP, localized energy storage, EVs, renewable hydrogen).
4. Prioritize programs that shift load away from 4-9pm to better align MCE’s load and generation, minimize cost exposure, and maximize renewable energy use.
5. Strengthen the grid and the western energy market to get energy where it is needed most and avoid waste.
6. Amplify MCE’s impact and successes by increasing recognition from regulators, decision-makers and customers.
7. Attract and retain talent at all levels with competitive market-based compensation, robust benefits, retention incentives, and growth opportunities. 6

MCE Board: What is the Assignment?
We know Board members are busy with many work and community commitments.
Fortunately, MCE can employ over 100 professional staff with specialized expertise and full-time engagement on MCE operations, freeing up Board members to focus on the connection between MCE and member communities.
The MCE Board Assignment is to:
• Share: Spread the word about MCE programs, rebates, successes and community-based work • Inform: Notify MCE about key initiatives and events happening in your community with an energy nexus
• Govern: Approve MCE’s budget, rates, and policies.
• Advise: Offer your perspective on community-based policy decisions • Advocate: Be a spokesperson and advocate for MCE with external parties and key stakeholders
10 The Board convenes in three ways: • Board meetings – 3rd Thursdays • Technical Committee – 1st Fridays • Executive Committee – 1st Mondays There are also Ad Hoc Committees as needed.
Examples: • Audit • Rate-Setting • Capital Projects
Meeting packets are emailed and
posted online one week in advance.

MCE Formation: What’s the Backstory?
First CCA in California, formed in 2008
Did you know MCE was…?
• Sparked by local advocates
• Shepherded by a handful of local elected officials, alongside local government staff
• Supported by grants, limited county funds, and a working capital bank loan • Fought hard by PG&E with $46M on a ballot initiative and numerous local tactics:
Blocked at local banks, targeted by intensive misinformation advertising and mailing campaign & opt-out calls, threatened litigation against municipal partners, hired critics to present misinformation to local governments, and formed a false local grassroots group for opposition, bussed in recipients of non-profit funds to speak in opposition to MCE.
21 MCE Formation: What’s the Backstory?
• Advocacy support was key to overcoming challenges
• Ballot initiative narrowly failed one month before launch • Enrollment challenges continued
• Challenges have shifted primarily to regulatory playing field • California Public Utilities Commission & California Energy Commission scope over CCAs was initially narrow – now a growing challenge

Source: CA/SO Production and Curtailment Reports
• Midday Overgeneration:
Solar produces more energy
than needed in the middle of
the day.
• Steep Evening Ramp-Up:
Rapid increase in demand in
the evening when solar
production drops (4-9pm).
• Grid Stability:
Renewables like solar and
wind are intermittent.
• Meeting Peak Load Demand:
Challenging to meet high
evening demand, California
currently relies on gas-fired
power plants.
35 Strategies to Address Peak Load
• Customer education to
drive behavior change
• Energy storage paired
with solar
• Demand response
programs to reduce
usage during peak
times
• More baseload power
