Housing Resources City of Pleasanton | G-11 G.2.1 East Bay Community Energy Resources In 2021, East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) began serving Pleasanton’s customers. EBCE is a not-for-profit community choice aggregation (CCA) program serving most of Alameda County and the City of Tracy in San Joaquin County. EBCE offers an alternative energy option to customers by allowing the jurisdictions the ability to procure electricity from clean, renewable energy sources on behalf of ratepayers at equal or lower rates than Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). EBCE has several programs designed to serve low-income customers, including: • Arrearage Management Plan (AMP): The AMP will forgive 1/12 of eligible debt (up to $8,000) each time an on-time payment is submitted. • CARE (California Alternate Rates for Energy): The CARE program offers up to a 35 percent discount on electricity bills and a 20 percent discount on natural gas bills consistent with Public Utilities Code Section 739.1. This program is eligible to qualified low- or fixed-income households and housing facilities. • FERA (Family Electric Rate Assistance): The FERA program offers an 18 percent discount on electric bills to qualifying low to middle-income households. • Medical Baseline Allowance: The Medical Baseline Allowance program allows residential customers who are medically dependent on electricity to receive more gas and electricity at the lowest residential rate. In addition, EBCE has additional programs including Resilient Home which provides incentives/rebates for customers that install solar and battery backups. Resilient Home aims to increase locally generated renewable energy, reduce resident’s energy bills, and improve resident’s resilience to grid outages. Beginning in January 2022, the default electricity option for all CARE, FERA, and Medical Baseline Pleasanton customers is the EBCE Bright Choice plan which offers 5-percent more renewable energy than the State requires at 1-percent below PG&E rates. The remaining residential, commercial, and municipal customers default plan is the EBCE Renewable 100 plan, which offers 100-percent renewable energy sourced from California wind and solar facilities at 1 cent per kilowatt hour above PG&E rates. This shift in default electricity is estimated to reduce the City’s greenhouse gas emissions by 10-percent. G.2.2 Pacific Gas and Electric Resources Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E) provides gas and electricity services for Pleasanton. PG&E assists low-income, disabled, and senior citizen customers through several programs and community outreach projects, including: • CARE (California Alternate Rates for Energy): See CARE under East Bay Community Energy Resources, above.
