MOUNTAIN COUNTIES, Calif. (September 7, 2022) – The Mountain Counties Water Resources Association (MCWRA) is proud to announce that Pioneer Community Energy (Pioneer) has joined its Associate Membership. Pioneer is a local not-for-profit provider of electricity, powering the communities they serve with competitive rates, reliable service and a choice in energy options.
”As a Director on Pioneer’s Board, I am pleased to have Pioneer join Mountain Counties Water Resources Association,” said Jim Holmes, Placer County Supervisor and MCWRA/Pioneer Board Member. “Pioneer is our regional energy provider and recognizes the importance of MCWRA’s important role in resource management and look forward to collaboration between Pioneer and MCWRA on issues impacting the communities we serve.”
Pioneer was formed in 2017, joining the other California Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs) in providing energy to more than 11 million customers across the state. They started providing electricity services in 2018 to Auburn, Colfax, Lincoln, Rocklin, Loomis, and most of unincorporated Placer County, achieving status as an independent entity in 2021. In 2022, Pioneer started providing the same stable and reliable electric service to most of unincorporated El Dorado County and the City of Placerville.
