Peninsula Clean Energy to rebrand as West Light Energy; announces local grants and continued discount for Woodside customers
Summary
Peninsula Clean Energy told the council it will announce a June rebrand to West Light Energy, highlighted $2.5 million local customer savings over 10 years, $560,000 in community investments, and a $113,000 member-agency grant for Woodside’s landscape electrification program.
Rafael Reyes, senior director of energy programs at Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE), briefed the council on PCE's 10-year results and asked the town to approve a JPA amendment on the consent calendar to reflect a name change planned for June.
Reyes said PCE customers have saved about $2.5 million in the service territory over the past decade and that PCE has made roughly $560,000 in community investments through credits and rebates. He highlighted a $113,000 member agency grant to Woodside for an "e-garden" landscape electrification rebate program and said the generation discount for members currently runs at about 10% compared with PG&E.
On branding, Reyes said the joint powers authority will formally announce a June rebrand to the name "West Light Energy," explaining the change is intended to reduce confusion between PCE and PG&E and improve customer communications; he said the agency remains a not‑for‑profit community provider and the change is not a change in services.
Council members thanked Reyes and asked no substantive questions; the council approved the consent item that included the JPA amendment for the rebrand as part of the consent calendar.
