Pioneer Community Energy

About Us

Pioneer Community Energy is a locally owned, not-for-profit electricity provider dedicated to powering communities with competitive rates, reliable service, and energy choices that align with local values. Governed by a board of elected officials from the region, Pioneer puts community first—offering stable pricing, exceptional customer support, and a voice in the energy mix rather than corporate shareholders. Pioneer emphasizes excellence in service, transparency in operations, and independence from traditional investor-owned utilities, reinvesting in local businesses, grid resiliency, and community well-being. As part of its ongoing growth, Pioneer will launch service in Paradise and Butte County in October 2027, bringing greater choice and community-focused energy solutions to even more residents and businesses.
