Bay Area homes getting new jolt of clean energy with largest geothermal power generator in US
Briefly

Bay Area residents are experiencing enhanced green energy options thanks to a clean energy program, which allows upgrades to home energy systems, leading to substantial bill reductions. Donell Dominique, a facilities manager, improved his home's efficiency with solar panels and insulation, resulting in monthly energy costs dropping from $500 to $98. The program collaborates with Calpine, which expanded geothermal power generation at the Geysers, utilizing natural steam and replenishing resources with recycled water. MCE has become one of the first energy providers to incorporate electricity from this expanded geothermal capacity.
