In just minutes you can show your commitment to renewable energy and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by choosing to opt-up to your utility’s renewable electricity program.

For this, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the City is coordinating with agencies and NGO’s around the County to encourage people to make the switch! We’re looking to double the amount of people choosing renewable electricity. Help us go from  4.5% to 9% by Earth Day, April 22! Choose now, then tell all your friends, neighbors, and co-workers!

For MCE Clean Energy customers, click here to go to the MCE 100% Renewable page.

For PG&E customers, click here to go to the PG&E Community Renewable Programs page.

Our choices demonstrate our values. Show yours by opting-up!

I switched to electric and I have saved well over a thousand dollars by avoiding ridiculous gas prices! Now I drive in a comfortable electric car, for over 300 miles on a single charge. I save so much money and time by avoiding the repairs needed on old gas cars. I also save thousands on electricity since I made the switch to solar. San Rafael has a great local store, with expertise on sizing for all types of homes. I recommend to look at Yelp reviews of solar providers, and get multiple bids on your home to find the best price! I have eliminated my gas emissions, and I now help save the environment in a easy, low-cost way. Don’t delay, go electric! Anne-Christine Strugnell, San Rafael resident.
