Our Power Content Label

The California Energy Commission’s Power Content Label is designed to protect you as an energy consumer. This label shows the variety of resources used to generate California’s—and Alameda’s—electricity. Two columns allow you to compare the power ‘content’ (or resource mix) of your electricity with the statewide California Power Mix.**
