Discover the Benefits of The Electricity Switch

Natural gas generation is an efficient and cost-effective power source. In addition, it is particularly well-suited to firming up variable wind and solar generation. But political and regulatory headwinds are building against gas-fired generation, which may cause concern that you might not be able to operate the generation for the life of a prepay contract. Learn how the Electricity Switch will make a difference.

MCE has statutory authority to exercise the powers of a municipal power agency in a tax-exempt prepaid energy transaction. This enables us to offer generating utilities the option of converting the prepaid energy contract from a discount on the purchase of natural gas to a comparable discount on the purchase of market electricity, should the generation shut down.

With MCE’s Electricity Switch provision, you are in good hands. By converting the contract from the purchase of discounted natural gas to discounted market electricity, you will continue to receive value through the full term of a prepaid energy transaction even if the utility’s gas-fired generation ceases to operate before the expiration of the contract.
