Signs two-year electricity deal with East Bay Community Energy, estimated $1.5M to $2.5M

The district would buy electricity from East Bay Community Energy Authority at fixed rates below the authority's standard rates, in return for a long-term commitment as a customer. The first term runs May 1, 2022 through April 30, 2024, with a non-binding estimate of $1,500,000 to $2,500,000 that would rise if usage rises significantly. The board is declaring that public bidding would be futile, so the district is not running its own bid.
