Our Palm Springs solar installation team is here to explain the new DCE Program that is new to Palm Springs. Learn how Renova Energy can help you save!
With the goal of providing residents with a cleaner source of electricity, Desert Community Energy (DCE) is now the electricity provider for residents and businesses in Palm Springs. With a goal of prioritizing the reduction of greenhouse emissions, customers have all been enrolled in DCE, while Southern California Edison (SCE) will continue to deliver the electricity, maintain the grid, and provide customer service and billing.
Now, while everyone has been placed on the cleanest energy option (Carbon-Free plan) at a slightly higher cost than SCE, individuals can switch to a slightly less clean energy option (Desert Saver Mix) and save a bit compared to SCE. Customers can easily change from the Carbon-Free plan to the Desert Saver mix by visiting this website or by calling (855) 357-9240 during regular business hours.
In regard to solar and 100% clean power, DCE is a big proponent and supports customers who already have or want to have solar installed. As such, DCE has a net metering program and will pay for any excess power a system generates at the end of each 12-month timeframe at the same rate customers would get with SCE. However, for those who already have solar energy, this will occur in May 2021 because a “true-up” was done when the transition to DCE was made. At that point, customers will either receive a check or a bill, depending on whether or not the customer used more or less power than the system made. If a person does not yet have solar, the person’s true-up is 12 months after the system is commissioned and running.
