Desert Community Energy (DCE), the new electricity generation
provider for the City of Palm Springs, is fulfilling its promise to provide
customers with locally supplied, carbon free energy with the signing of three
multi-million dollar, long-term agreements with Terra-Gen, LLC to
purchase power from their local wind farms. Representatives from
DCE, the City of Palm Springs and Terra-Gen ceremonially signed
the agreements underneath a 500-foot wind turbine. As a locally
controlled not-for-profit community choice energy program, DCE is
delivering on it’s mission to reinvest revenues into the community,
create jobs and help develop more local renewable energy sources in
the Coachella Valley. The three Terra-Gen wind projects are all
located within Palm Springs city limits and will provide significant costsavings
and rate certainty. At the same time the agreement helps
Palm Springs’ residents and businesses do their part to save the
planet by combatting climate change and reducing greenhouse gas
emissions. Since DCE started serving Palm Springs customers in
April 2020, the community has dramatically cut its carbon footprint,
which would be the equivalent impact of taking 20,000 cars off the
road. BRC has provided marketing, public relations and community outreach services to DCE since it
s launch in 2018.
