Peninsula Clean Energy is a community choice energy (CCE) program, also known as Community Choice Aggregation. CCE programs allow local governments to pool the electricity demands of their communities, purchasing power with higher renewable content and reinvesting in local infrastructure. To learn more Peninsula Clean Energy, visit PCE's program website, call (866) 966-0110, or download the latest Annual Belmont Community Benefits Report.

Starting Feb. 2016, 220,000 residences and businesses throughout San Mateo County received four notices in the mail to inform them that they were about to enjoy cleaner electricity and save money through Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE). In April, all County residents and businesses were enrolled in ECOplus, resulting in 5% savings on the electrical generation portion of their bill and greener electricity. They also had the choice to opt up to ECO100 to receive 100% renewable energy.

Peninsula Clean Energy is now San Mateo County’s default electricity provider, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and offering customer choice at competitive rates. PCE is a joint powers authority, which means residents have local control through their representative on the PCE board. 

Peninsula Clean Energy purchases greener electricity for its customers, and PG&E continues to handle electricity delivery, maintenance of wires, customer billing, and natural gas services. Call PG&E’s customer service line if you experience an outage. PCE customers receive a consolidated bill from PG&E, which will reflect 5% savings if they are enrolled in ECOplus.

Customers can learn more and make their choices on PCE’s website www.peninsulacleanenergy.com or by calling PCE’s customer service phone number at 1-866-966-0110.
