VCE is celebrating five years of electric generation service with a free community event in Davis, CA.
Davis, Calif. – In honor of their five-year anniversary, Valley Clean Energy, the local community choice energy provider, is hosting a free Customer Appreciation event this Saturday at Central Park in Davis, CA from 4pm – 7pm. California’s 4th Congressional District congressman, Mike Thompson, will be joining the festivities. Congressman Thompson was an influential party to the incorporation of the Growing Renewable Energy and Efficiency Now (GREEN) Act as part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022.
VCE invites the community to join in celebrating five years of service with this free event. Highlights include remarks from Congressman Thompson and VCE Board Chair Tom Stallard, free meal vouchers for the first 100 customers, electric vehicle test drives, pet adoption with Friends of Yolo County Animal Services, games, giveaways, and more.
VCE has partnered with SactoMofo, a local food truck catering company, to offer free meals during the Customer Appreciation Event. Meals will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis. After enjoying their meal, families are invited to join in lawn games and a variety of activities for all ages.
Elk Grove Kia and Ford Fairfield will provide electric vehicles, including the Ford F-150 Lightning, for test drives. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience an EV firsthand and have their questions answered by experts. VCE staff will also be available to discuss the EV rebate program available to current customers.
As part of the customer appreciation event, Friends of Yolo County Animals Services will be on-site hosting a mobile pet adoption. Attendees can interact with animals and will be given the opportunity to adopt them during the event.
Other participating local businesses including Pedego Elk Grove, Soft Play Parties, and Explorit Science Center will be present to offer free demonstrations and giveaways to event attendees.
