ROCKLIN – Alice Dowdin Calvillo, Board Chair of Pioneer Community Energy (Pioneer) and Auburn City Councilmember, today issued the following statement in response to the approval of a mid-year rate reduction by the Pioneer Governing Board at its meeting held on July 18, 2024:
“As part of our commitment to provide customer savings, the Pioneer Community Energy Governing Board approved at its July 18 meeting a mid-year rate adjustment to lower summer electricity rates, ensuring Pioneer customers save money during the summer, when rates and usage are at their highest.
“The vote by the Pioneer Board lowers rates for the summer by an average of five percent (5%). Additionally, the rate adjustment is retroactive to July 1, 2024, so many Pioneer customers will receive a credit on their August bill to reflect this money-saving action.
“I am pleased that the Pioneer Board voted to offer reduced rates to the communities we serve — furthering our commitment to saving customers money and providing exceptional local service.”
