Central Coast Community Energy (3CE)

Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) is a locally-controlled public agency supplying clean and renewable electricity for residents and businesses in Monterey, San Benito, parts of San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz Counties. 3CE is based on a local energy model called community choice energy that partners with the local utility (in our case PG&E or SCE) which continues to provide consolidated billing, electricity transmission and distribution, customer service and grid maintenance services. PG&E or SCE accounts within 3CE’s service area will be enrolled in 3CE’s default electric program, 3Cchoice unless they choose to opt-up to 3Cprime, 100% renewable energy or they opt-out and return to PG&E or SCE bundled service. 3CE provides a customer bill savings on electric generation rates, inclusive of any exit fees, when compared to your utility provider.
