Your Public Electricity Provider in Palm Springs, Cathedral City and Palm Desert.
In the Coachella Valley, our residents and our environment are priorities. That’s why three of our cities have formed a cleaner, greener energy provider to lower electricity rates, while allowing us to improve air quality and reinvest in local resources at the same time. Desert Community Energy is the POWER of Choice, putting people in charge and keeping revenues here at home.
How it works
DCE sources cleaner electricity and feeds it into the grid, partnering with Southern California Edison to deliver it and manage the lines, poles, and customer service. That means lower rates and cleaner electricity for you—and you don’t have to do a thing to join. Enrollment in the program is automatic, saving you time and money.

The choice is yours
Our automatic rate-saving service will give you cleaner electricity—35% renewable and 50% carbon-free—at lower rates.
Or you can choose our premium service—100% carbon-free—if you want to reduce your carbon footprint even more.
The cost is identical to SCE’s current rates.
You may also Opt Out if you prefer, but you'll miss out on lower rates and cleaner electricity.
Can I be part of it?
Desert Community Energy operates exclusively in Palm Springs, Cathedral City and Palm Desert, for all residential and commercial electricity users.
Service begins in August 2018.
How do I apply?
Great news—there’s no application needed. If you have an SCE account in Palm Springs, Cathedral City or Palm Desert, you’ll be automatically included when we launch in August. That's when Desert Community Energy becomes the default electricity provider for these 3 cities.
You can always opt up to our premium, 100% carbon-free product, or opt out to stay with SCE. Or call toll free (855) 357-9240.
