HOW 3CE SERVICE WORKS
A POWERFUL PARTNERSHIP
In partnership with the City of Atascadero and the County of San Luis Obispo, 3CE and PG&E are working together so you can do more with your energy.
- Savings: In 2024, 3CE Residential Electric Generation Rates were, on average, 17% lower than PG&E Residential Electric Generation Rates.
- Community Investment: In 2024 3CE made $14.8 million available to customers through electrification rebates.
- Emissions Reduction/Cleaner Air for Healthier Communities: 3CE customers help reduce emissions for cleaner air and healthier communities.
- Building a Cleaner, More Reliable Grid for California: As shared 3CE and PG&E customers, households and businesses enrolled with 3CE are accelerating progress toward California’s decarbonization and renewable energy goals.
- PG&E will continue sending one monthly bill: After 3CE service begins in January 2025, your bill will include 3CE charges for electric generation, and PG&E charges transmission, distribution, gas, taxes, and fees.
