Renewable Energy & Financing

Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE) is San Mateo County’s official electricity provider offering cleaner electricity at lower rates. With Peninsula Clean Energy, at least 50% of your electricity comes from renewable sources like wind, solar, geothermal and hydropower. This is nearly twice the renewable energy that PG&E provides their customers. PG&E will continue to deliver the electricity and maintain the power lines to your home or business. It’s a great combination of the same reliability we’re used to, but with more renewable power at low rates. Peninsula Clean Energy customers have the option to opt-up to 100% renewable and carbon-free electricity at a slight premium. Find out more information at www.PeninsulaCleanEnergy.com

Peninsula Clean Energy also provides incentives for solar and battery back-up systems. Learn more at www.peninsulacleanenergy.com/pop-homeowner/.
