You 1st have to look at electricity coming to your house as defined in 2 ways physical and contractual. Physical electons flow like water to the point of least resistance. All generated electrons have to be accounted for; paid for by contract and tagged for deliver. Renewables are contracted as such regardless of where the end up physically. So if u are paying for renewable power you have contracted for it. This is the simplest way i can explain it without going several layers deeper.
MCE operates similarly to traditional utilities in that we buy energy from large generation facilities on your behalf. Once power is added to the electric grid, it’s not possible to discern the source of one electron vs. another. When you choose more renewable electricity through MCE, your dollars contribute to cleaner California for all. When you choose MCE, you are also investing in new local renewable energy projects, workforce development, and tailored community energy programs.
