"It's been rewarding to be part of the group that successfully proved the benefits of Sonoma Clean Power in our inaugural year. As the 2015 Board Chair for the agency, I look forward to working with my fellow Directors to continue successfully delivering competitively priced power that reduces greenhouse gas emissions,” said Board Chair Mark Landman. “I believe Sonoma County has the potential for a very bright future, and I see Sonoma Clean Power as an important part of helping us get there."

SCP began serving their first phase of customers in May 2014. Their third phase of customer enrollment includes the cities of Cloverdale, Rohnert Park and Petaluma. “Reflecting on SCP’s first year of service to customers, I’m extremely proud of what’s been accomplished,” said Immediate Past Board Chair, Supervisor Susan Gorin. “All eligible Sonoma County cities are now participating and benefiting from our locally run energy provider,” Gorin added.
