What is EBCE?
East Bay Community Energy (EBCE)
is a local, community choice power
supplier committed to providing Alameda
County and the City of Tracy with more
renewable electricity at competitive rates.
EBCE reinvests earnings back into the
community to create local green energy
jobs, local energy programs, and clean
power projects.
2 How it Works
EBCE BUYS CLEAN POWER
EBCE buys from, and is building, clean
power plants. EBCE sells the power to
customers at low rates.
PG&E DELIVERS THE POWER
EBCE’s power is delivered to customers
by PG&E. Customers
pay PG&E for power delivery
as they always have.
YOU GET THE POWER
AND ALL THE BENEFITS
You benefit from clean energy,
low rates, local governance,
and innovative programs.
