Welcome to Sustainable San Rafael

Marin Clean Energy is up and running. . . . . . . NOW!

And YOU can get 100% Renewable Energy . . . . TODAY!

After six years of careful planning,

After dozens of public education meetings,

After hundreds of letters to the Editor,

And, despite PG&E's attempts to spread fear, uncertainty and doubt . . . .

MCE is now online and serving customers

NewMEALogoonwhite Marin Clean Energy started electric service to "Phase 1" customers on May 7. Phase 1 is about 10% of MCE's potential customers - mainly municipal, business and larger residential accounts. The default plan for all these customers is "Light Green" which delivers at least 25% renewable power while matching or beating PG&E rates. If they want, these customers can opt-up to "Deep Green" 100% renewable for a flat 1 cent per kilowatt-hour premium. For typical residential customers, this premium adds roughly $3 to $7 per month to their bill.

All this will be rolled out to everyone else - - the 90% who are "Phase 2" customers - - around January 2012.
