Clean Energy Alliance

Clean Energy Alliance (CEA) flipped the switch in the City of Vista on April 1! From now on, CEA will be the default energy generation provider for the Vista community. You will continue to receive a single bill from SDG&E. CEA’s energy generation charge on your bill is not an extra charge, it simply replaces SDG&E’s previous charge for electricity generation. By managing energy generation for Vista, CEA can purchase and offer power with a higher percentage of renewable resources that are cleaner and less harmful to the environment. This month, Vista customers will receive the third of four mailers that explain our energy transition in greater depth. Learn more at TheCleanEnergyAlliance.org or call 833-232-3110.
