MCE flyer to 87 businesses drew no responses; commission plans Chamber outreach
Summary
Commissioners heard that Marin Clean Energy’s outreach flyer to 87 medium and large local businesses produced no responses; they discussed follow‑up with the Chamber of Commerce and targeted in‑person engagement to recruit pilot participants.
Chair Fleming reported on MCE’s outreach effort and the commission’s next steps. Fleming said MCE sent a targeted flyer to 87 medium and large businesses offering no‑cost energy assessments and early electrification assistance, and that the mailout returned no immediate responses: "they got back exactly no responses out of the 87."
Commissioners discussed reasons a single flyer may not spur signups and recommended Chamber of Commerce outreach, in‑person follow‑up and identifying a local business champion. Staff and commissioners volunteered to assist with personal outreach and to coordinate follow‑up meetings with MCE to adapt the outreach strategy to Benicia’s business mix.
