Electricity Accounts Will Transition to 100% Renewable Energy in March 2022.
To help achieve its Climate Action Plan goals, the City of Berkeley receives its electricity from East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), a local energy provider supplying greener electricity to the East Bay community. Since 2018 EBCE has been the default supplier of electric generation service for all residential and commercial accounts in Berkeley, including yours. Our records indicate that you had previously selected EBCE’s Brilliant 100 service, which was terminated as a customer option at the end of 2021. At that time, you were moved from EBCE’s Brilliant 100 service to EBCE’s Bright Choice service.
In March 2022, most Berkeley residents, including your account, will default to 100% renewable energy available through EBCE.
In June 2021, the Berkeley City Council voted to set the default electricity option for Berkeley residents to EBCE’s Renewable 100 service starting in March 2022. Renewable 100 service is sourced from California wind and solar facilities including EBCE’s new 57.5 megawatt wind farm in Livermore, and costs an additional 1 cent per kilowatt-hour above PG&E rates—that’s about $5 more per month for a typical home. Commercial customers in Berkeley will be placed on Renewable 100 in October 2022.
EBCE also offers their Bright Choice service, which is priced 1% below PG&E rates and is approximately 5% more renewable energy than PG&E. Customers who prefer to power their home with Bright Choice are welcome to do so by visiting ebce.org/berkeley and clicking on “Remain on Bright Choice,” or by calling 1-833-699-EBCE (3223) during business hours (9AM–5PM on weekdays). Take action by February 22 if you prefer to avoid automatic enrollment in Renewable 100. Customers who participate in CARE, FERA, and Medical Baseline programs will remain on Bright Choice service automatically. Customers can change their EBCE service or return to PG&E service anytime.
EBCE will be hosting a series of webinars to review the basics about their service, and to answer any questions. Details are available at ebce.org/berkeley.

Para ayudar a cumplir sus objetivos del Plan de Acción Climática (Climate Action Plan), la ciudad de Berkeley recibe su electricidad de East Bay Community Energy (EBCE), un proveedor de energía local que provee electricidad menos contaminante a la comunidad de East Bay. Desde 2018, EBCE es el proveedor predeterminado del servicio de generación de electricidad para todas las cuentas residenciales y comerciales en Berkeley, incluida la suya. Nuestros registros indican que usted había seleccionado previamente el servicio Brilliant 100 de EBCE, que se canceló como opción del cliente a fines de 2021. En ese momento, lo cambiaron del servicio Brilliant 100 de EBCE al servicio Bright Choice de EBCE.
En marzo de 2022, los residentes de Berkeley, incluso su cuenta, pasarán de forma predeterminada a energía 100 % renovable disponible mediante EBCE.
En junio de 2021, el ayuntamiento de Berkeley votó fijar como opción predeterminada de electricidad para los residentes de Berkeley al servicio Renewable 100 de EBCE a partir de marzo de 2022. El servicio Renewable 100 viene de instalaciones de energía eólica y solar de California, incluido el nuevo parque eólico de 57,5 MV de EBCE en Livermore, y cuesta 1 centavo más por kilovatio/hora por encima de las tarifas de PG&E—alrededor de USD 5 más por mes para un hogar típico. Los clientes comerciales en Berkeley recibirán el servicio Renewable 100 en octubre de 2022.
EBCE también ofrece su servicio de Bright Choice, que cuesta un 1 % menos que las tarifas de PG&E y contiene aproximadamente un 5 % más de energía renovable que PG&E. Los clientes que prefieran tener energía en sus hogares con Bright Choice pueden hacerlo visitando ebce.org/berkeley y haciendo clic en “Seguir en Bright Choice” (“Remain on Bright Choice”) o llamando al 1-833-699-EBCE (3223) durante el horario de atención (de 9 a. m. a 5 p. m. en días de semana). Hágalo antes del 22 de febrero si prefiere evitar la inscripción automática a Renewable 100. Los clientes que participen en programas de Tarifas Alternativas de Energía en California (California Alternate Rates for Energy, CARE), el Programa Familiar de Reducción de las Tarifas de Energía (Family Electric Rate Assistance, FERA) y Medical Baseline seguirán automáticamente en el servicio de Bright Choice. Los clientes pueden cambiar su servicio de EBCE o volver al de PG&E en cualquier momento.
