Apple Valley Choice Energy (AVCE) is the local electricity provider for residents and businesses in the Town of Apple Valley, California. Launched in April 2017, AVCE aims to deliver cleaner, more affordable energy solutions while promoting sustainability and economic growth within the community. By working in partnership with Southern California Edison (SCE), AVCE functions as an aggregator that procures electricity with a focus on higher renewable content compared to traditional utilities. This setup allows residents to have a greater say in their energy choices and supports the deployment of renewable resources such as solar, wind, and geothermal power.
AVCE is committed to keeping energy costs low while encouraging the use of green energy sources. The company offers a range of plans, including options for 100% renewable energy, and encourages solar panel owners to contribute energy back to the grid through net metering programs. For those who may require financial assistance, AVCE provides discounts for low-income customers through programs like the California Alternate Rates for Energy (CARE) program.
The mission of AVCE extends beyond affordable pricing; it encompasses a commitment to community involvement and economic development. By investing locally in renewable energy initiatives, AVCE not only enhances the region's sustainability but also creates good-paying jobs for its residents. Through these efforts, AVCE fosters environmental responsibility while meeting the energy needs of its community members. The company's engagement with local forums and initiatives ensures that it remains responsive to the changing energy landscape and the needs of the Apple Valley community.
