For comparison purposes, staff included a quick overview of the rates of MCE, the first <br />CCA in California. MCE was once known as "Marin Clean Energy", but since its service <br />began in 2010, it has expanded outside of Marin County. MCE is currently the only CCA <br />with a credit score, and serves Marin and Napa Counties, unincorporated Contra Costa <br />County, and multiple cities within Contra Costa County. MCE offers very high renewable <br />energy levels - but a smaller discount compared to PG&E -which are depicted below in <br />Table 5. <br />,��CE_ <br />_ ,_ <br />"-10EDeecC� <br />__cal5oi <br />61%RENEWABLE" <br />39% RENEWABLE" <br />100% RENEWABLE - <br />100% LOCAL SOLAR" <br />X11?� :�_:�,..o,: <br />�j1175� .� :� _u <br />rr122�'�a�rMe,�t <br />$144O4F,� � __�: <br />$60.76 <br />S60J6 <br />$60.76 <br />$60 76 <br />PG&E Electric Delivery <br />PG&E Electric Delivery <br />PG&E Electric Delivery <br />PG&E Electric Delivery <br />$42.02 <br />$5679 <br />$46 85 <br />S68 59 <br />Electric Generation <br />Electric Generation <br />Electric Generation <br />Electric Generation <br />$14.70 <br />- <br />S14 70 <br />$14.70 <br />Additional PG&E Fees <br />Additional PG&E Fees <br />Additional PG&E Fees <br />Additional PG&E Fees <br />'aved uiay-Pca�. usage efi•z�yz ,a, ,rsi�^ -��: �•v .2arza acc� [ C-3=e.�a. ct,^n_'_'3r_=elle: rve �, .r n:y i_2l.aj,v. �_coer�ate sc-�P .. _- _•_ <br />-,� decending cm usagz -ats s;.=.edu7 and �t� •tactors. ��,maW_ wovided �s ar aveeagz of szawea! rat_os <br />Table 5 —July 2019 MCE Products and Rates <br />2. Environmental Benefits <br />This section investigates whether or not EBCE is fulfilling its goals of supplying cleaner <br />energy than PG&E and reinvesting its revenue into promoting the development of local <br />renewable energy. <br />Renewable energy is defined as energy that is collected from resources that replenish <br />themselves naturally on a human timescale. Examples of renewable energy sources are <br />wind, sunlight, geothermal heat, rain, and waves. Carbon -free energy comes from <br />energy sources that do not emit greenhouse gas into the atmosphere. Large <br />hydropower is considered carbon -free, but not renewable. Small hydro facilities that <br />have less than 30 megawatts of generation capacity are considered both renewable and <br />carbon -free. EBCE uses large hydropower in its carbon -free, non-renewable energy <br />portfolio. Nuclear energy is also carbon -free but not renewable, and no CCAs in <br />California are pursuing it. <br />Page 8 of 20 <br />
