RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Council Sustainability Committee (CSC) reviews and comments on this report and provides a recommendation to Council.
End
SUMMARY
When East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) launched in 2018, Council chose Brilliant 100 (100% carbon free electricity) as the default product for Hayward. The rates for Brilliant 100 will be increased effective January 1, 2021. This report presents options for a new default product and the impacts of each option for the Committee to consider.
Staff is seeking two recommendations from the Committee:
1. A ranked preference of possible choices for a default product for the community, to be effective January 1, 2021; and
2. A preferred product for Hayward’s municipal facilities.
