The Power to Choose
Valley Clean Energy is our official locally-governed electricity provider. VCE is bringing cleaner energy at competitive rates to Woodland, Davis, and unincorporated Yolo County, with service starting in June 2018. VCE gives residents and businesses a choice in how much of our electricity comes from clean energy sources. In addition to providing cleaner power at competitive rates, VCE will reinvest earnings back into our community by creating local green energy programs and projects.
How It Works
Valley Clean Energy pools the electricity demands of our communities and purchases power with higher renewable and lower greenhouse gas (GHG) content than is offered by PG&E. PG&E continues to deliver electricity, maintain the power lines, handle customer billing, and respond to new service requests and emergencies. If you want to stay with PG&E for your electricity, you can opt-out of Valley Clean Energy.
