Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) serves as a public agency that sources clean and renewable electricity for more than 1.1 million residents across Monterey, San Benito, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Santa Cruz counties. It is locally controlled and governed by a board representing the communities it serves. Revenues stay local, supporting stable rates and funding for innovative energy programs that promote electrification and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These programs are designed to stimulate local economic development by investing in community initiatives. Within the renewable energy power generation sector, 3CE functions as a community energy provider focused on regional impact rather than a traditional utility. In February 2026, 3CE announced a partnership with ReGen Monterey to deliver locally generated renewable electricity, an arrangement intended to lower emissions while maintaining rate stability for customers.
