With Peninsula Clean Energy, Brisbane residents and businesses are helping the environment while saving money. In 2016, Brisbane joined San Mateo County and all the other cities in the county to form Peninsula Clean Energy (PCE). Peninsula Clean Energy's purpose is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and provide clean energy at competitive rates. PCE is a community-led, not-for-profit public agency that supplies electricity principally from wind, solar and hydro resources. They invest in helping communities switch from fossil fuels to clean electricity in buildings and transportation. Brisbane has chosen 100% renewable wind and solar to power all its municipal facilities. See Brisbane's 2021 Community Benefits Summary here.
