The East Bay Community Energy Authority is a new public agency formed in 2016 to bring cleaner energy to residents and businesses in participating East Bay communities. EBCE will implement a Community Choice Energy (CCE) program for its member communities. EBCE will procure a high percentage of electricity from renewable sources such as solar, wind and geothermal which do not pollute or produce greenhouse gases and deliver it through the existing electric utility. EBCE is scheduled to begin providing energy in April 2018.
