Pioneer Community Energy outlines customer programs to Nevada City Council
Summary
Pioneer Community Energy staff briefed the council on customer savings and new programs including discounted electricity generation rates (cited savings since 2018), LED/efficiency retail discounts, a zero‑down solar+storage offering, a $75 AC tune‑up rebate and a PowerShift rewards sign‑up incentive.
Lisa Dabbi, community outreach manager for Pioneer Community Energy, told the Nevada City Council on May 14 that Pioneer offers lower generation rates for participating customers and is launching several customer programs.
Dabbi said Pioneer has saved participating customers $108 million since its 2018 launch and plans an additional $31 million in savings in 2025. She said Pioneer’s 2025 average generation rate is about 10% lower than PG&E’s generation portion and cited a 25% discount for Nevada City customers specifically. New customer programs highlighted included retail discounts on LED and energy‑efficient products, a zero‑down solar plus battery storage program with no credit check, a $75 rebate for AC tune‑ups through Oct. 1, and a PowerShift rewards program that gives a $25 gift card for signing up.
Dabbi left flyers with the city clerk and encouraged customers to contact Pioneer for bill analysis and program enrollment.
