Peninsula Clean Energy said it has begun providing 100 percent carbon-free electricity to all of its nearly 300,000 customers, which is ahead of California’s 2045 zero-emission power generation mandate and a step in helping the agency achieve its ultimate goal of providing all customers 100 percent renewable power on a 24/7 basis.
Since large hydropower is emission-free but not counted as renewable in California, the agency said all customers are receiving at least 50 percent renewable power generated by solar, wind, biomass and small hydropower projects.
