Rates – A Bill That Pays Back 

No investors. No shareholders. Revenue stays local to generate powerful customer benefits and resources. 

Electric rates set locally: for the long term 

3CE sets rates locally through a transparent process involving community stakeholders and board members representing each community 3CE serves.  

Local rate-setting reflects our region’s coastal and inland climates, the unique energy needs of our diverse Central Coast community and allows for input from customers and communities served. 3CE’s cost-based rate structure allows for simple, stable rates that support 3CE’s commitments to customer benefits, community investment, and the growth of clean and renewable energy.

Qualified new and existing 3CE customers can participate in federal and regional financial assistance programs to help reduce energy costs and past due bills. Learn more about these programs on our financial assistance webpage.
