San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay switched to using only renewable and carbon free energy on January 1.
Their new primary energy provider — Monterey Bay Community Power (MBCP) — is a not-for-profit organization that provides only renewable and carbon free energy to their customers, including Monterey, San Benito and Santa Cruz Counties.
MBCP provides two enrollment options. The first is MB Choice, which San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay residents were automatically enrolled in. For this plan, 66 percent of the energy is generated by hydroelectric sources and 34 percent by renewable energy sources, which includes 12 percent geothermal sources, 11 percent solar sources, 11 percent wind sources and 0.3 percent biomass and biowaste sources, according to the MBCP website.
