SUMMARY

 

Most Hayward customers currently receive Brilliant 100 (100% carbon free electricity) from East Bay Community Energy (EBCE). EBCE will most likely phase out Brilliant 100 by the end of calendar year 2021. A formal decision by the EBCE Board of Directors is expected this fall. This report presents options and the impacts of each for Council to consider, including changing Hayward’s default electricity product effective January 1, 2021. In addition, most of Hayward’s municipal facilities receive Brilliant 100. This report also presents the fiscal impacts of changing the municipal facilities to another electricity product.
