MCE board approves rate cuts starting in April

The MCE board of directors voted Thursday to reduce its portion of monthly electricity charges for typical households by $11 a month starting in April.

Typical residential customers of the public renewable power agency formerly known as Marin Clean Energy would pay about $250 more in 2026 for electricity than from a comparable plan from Pacific Gas & Electric Co., according to MCE staff reports. PG&E is expected to raise rates in 2027, offsetting recent rate cuts that triggered MCE’s response.
