As the City works towards the June 1st launch of the Solana Energy Alliance (SEA), we have entered into the 60-day countdown to launch. As you may already have received the first enrollment notice in the mail with detailed information on the new energy program. The City has been actively exploring the formation of SEA for over 7 years and is excited to offer the County's first Community Choice Energy program. As of June 1st, SEA will be the default energy provider and will offer the following benefits to those that remain in the program: - Higher renewable energy content (50% renewable, 75% Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions-free)
- Lower costs (3% reduction in the energy costs compared to SDG&E)
- More local control (the City Council oversees the program,
- including setting rates in a public forum)
- More choice for customers (currently, the only choice is SDG&E)
- Higher credit compensation for Net Energy Metering (NEM) customers (i.e., solar)
- Continued Billing by SDG&E - customers will continue to receive one bill from SDG&E with SEA's lower energy costs separately identified
In case you have not been keeping up with the many public meetings and workshops over the past several years, the City has also developed a dedicated website that contains more information on the program details and includes, among other things, a FAQ, rate schedule and rate comparison. There is also a dedicated call center (858-720-4422) where you can talk to someone to get more information and get your questions answered. SEA will help Solana Beach lead the way in reducing GHG emissions, improving the quality of life and meeting its Climate Action Plan goals. The Solana Energy Alliance invites you to catch a New Wave of Energy for Solana Beach! |
