Community Advisory Committee Application 2020-2021
East Bay Community Energy (EBCE) is seeking applicants from East Bay Community Energy's service area to fill vacancies on its Community Advisory Committee. The Community Advisory Committee (CAC) was formed in 2016 as part of the formation of EBCE, with the goal of creating competition for electricity services and to accelerate investments in clean energy resources and local energy projects. EBCE seeks to ensure a diversity of members and interests for the CAC as well as members who represent all areas of the service area. The CAC’s members are community stakeholders appointed by the EBCE Board of Directors to provide advice and recommendations to the EBCE Board and is not a decision-making entity.

2) Represent the views of their respective communities in their comments and recommendations;
3) Serve as an information-channel back to their colleagues and communities; and
4) Help EBCE staff and Alameda County and city officials identify issues of concern and opportunities to educate about CCE in Alameda County
