MCE Releases 10-Year Impact Report Highlighting Significant Community Reinvestment Benefits - PRNewswire

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. and CONCORD, Calif., Sept. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- To mark a decade of clean energy service and community reinvestment, MCE is excited to announce the release of its inaugural 10-Year Impact Report. As the first community choice energy agency in California, MCE has committed over $180 million to local reinvestment, including $81 million in projects, $68 million in customer rate savings, and $5 million in local businesses.

MCE's impact stretches throughout the California economy – MCE has supported over 5,000 jobs and 1.4 million prevailing wage labor and union hours statewide – including $1.25 million spent directly on workforce development in its service area. MCE's clean energy investments mean that its default electricity option is 50% more renewable than the incumbent utility and meets state renewable energy targets 13 years early. Moreover, MCE has enabled $1.6 billion in new renewable energy development around the state.

"Ultimately, what drives MCE is the same purpose that we all share. We want a better future, for ourselves, for the ones we love, for all things living on this planet," said Dawn Weisz, MCE CEO. "The successes highlighted in this impact report demonstrate the great things that happen when communities are empowered to create their own choices. We are excited to celebrate our first ten years of service with our valued customers and partners and look forward to another decade of building a brighter future together."

MCE led the way for the growth of community choice energy programs around the state, which now includes 21 programs responsible for over 170 communities, 10 million customers, and 3,600 megawatts of new clean energy. MCE's impact report features information across three priority areas: environmental justice, workforce development, and the global reach that local change can affect.

Stepping into the next ten years of service, MCE remains committed to strengthening energy resilience in its communities, investing in decarbonization of transportation and electrification infrastructure, continuing to develop innovative community energy programs, and ensuring that local workforce and diverse community benefits are anchored in all aspects of its work.
