Summary

Peninsula Clean Energy CEO told council the agency will seek a JPA amendment to support a June rebrand to Westlight Energy and described local investments (EV chargers, school electrification grants, rooftop PV) and potential rate impacts that could reduce the default discount from 10% to about 5% during the year.

Sean Marshall, CEO of Peninsula Clean Energy, briefed Menlo Park City Council on recent program activity and requested approval of an administrative JPA amendment to facilitate a June rebrand to Westlight Energy.

Marshall summarized local investments: $600,000 allocated to Menlo Park schools for heat‑pump HVAC electrification, nearly $800,000 in member agency grants for community facility solar, and $3 million in community reinvestment including EV charger deployment at multifamily housing. He said PCE has offered generation rates approximately 10% below PG&E but signaled the discount may be trimmed to about 5% during the year to accommodate exit fees and market pressures.

Marshall asked council to approve the JPA amendment on the consent calendar and to help communicate the name change to residents. Council thanked the agency for local partnerships; no public opposition was recorded. The consent calendar, including the PCE agreement amendment, passed.
