Governance at RCEA: A Community-Driven Approach
At Redwood Coast Energy Authority, our customers benefit from a unique governance model that prioritizes local decision-making. Unlike traditional electricity providers like PG&E, RCEA is a locally governed Joint Powers Agency, empowering Humboldt County residents to shape their energy future.
Our Board of Directors and Community Advisory Committee (CAC) work together to ensure that community priorities drive the decisions we make. This collaborative approach not only supports renewable energy adoption and sustainability but also creates opportunities for public participation in shaping programs, policies, and investments.
Why Local Governance Matters
Your Voice, Your Choice: Customers can directly influence energy decisions at public meetings.
Community Representation: Decisions are made by local government representatives and community-appointed members who understand Humboldt County’s needs.
Transparency: Meetings are open to the public and accessible both in-person and online, encouraging accountability and community engagement.
