Demand for green power from East Bay Community Energy is stepping up! Several cities in the East Bay have taken bold action recently and are transitioning their default service to EBCE's Renewable 100, sourced from California wind and solar power. That means that customers will automatically be placed onto Renewable 100 service, as follows:
-
Albany - All residential and commercial accounts (except those on CARE/FERA & Medical Baseline) in January 2022.
-
Berkeley - All residential accounts (except CARE/FERA & Medical Baseline) by April 2022 and all commercial accounts by October 2022.
-
Dublin - All residential accounts (except CARE/FERA & Medical Baseline customers) in October 2021.
-
Hayward - All residential and commercial accounts (except those on CARE/FERA & Medical Baseline) in January 2022.
-
Pleasanton - All residential and commercial accounts (except those on CARE/FERA & Medical Baseline) in January 2022.
-
Note: Piedmont set Renewable 100 as the default for residential accounts (except CARE/FERA & Medical Baseline customers) in 2018.
