REDWOOD CITY, CA March 15, 2018 – Peninsula Clean Energy is maintaining its 5% discount on electricity generation for its ECOplus customers in 2018.

PG&E enacted its annual rate adjustments on March 1st, 2018. Peninsula Clean Energy adjusted its rates in response on March 15th to maintain its 5% discount for ECOplus compared to PG&E’s rates on the electricity generation portion of customer bills.
