Pioneer’s two primary programs are the CCA Program and the mPOWER Program
The CCA Program provides electric generation for customers in PG&E territory. The purpose of the CCA Program is to provide more stable and competitive rates, to invest in the local economy and to support and create local jobs by investing in local electric generation projects.
The mPOWER Program provides fixed-rate, no money down financing to residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, multifamily and non-profit property owners for energy efficiency upgrades, water conservation measures, and energy generation systems. mPOWER is available throughout Placer County (including the City of Roseville), all of Nevada County, and the City of Folsom.
