Visit with Clean Energy Alliance staff on Tuesday, April 9, from 3 pm to 5 pm at the Vista Civic Center, 200 Civic Center Drive. Look for them on the second floor outside of Council Chambers. Additionally, join us for a brief presentation by the Clean Energy Alliance during the regular City Council meeting at 5:30 pm on April 9. Your participation and input are valued!

On April 1, the City flipped the switch, officially joining the Clean Energy Alliance (CEA). CEA is Vista's partner in meeting its Climate Action Plan goals as the new default energy provider for purchasing power. CEA offers increased local control and renewable energy options at competitive rates. On April 1, all Vista customers were enrolled at the Clean Impact Plus level, receiving 50% renewable and 75% carbon-free energy.
