(08:40) CENTRAL COAST – A regional project on the Central Coast that would create a new, clean-source power agency has announced plans to launch in the fall. The project, called Monterey Bay Community Power, or MBCP, was created by local government agencies to provide electricity to residents and businesses throughout the tri-county area. MBCP would aim to increase renewable energy, stimulate the economy by creating green jobs, and enable residential and business customers to choose clean-source power at a cost equivalent to PG&E. The agency is expected to launch as early as October. The agency will be financially self-sustaining and would come at no cost to local government. (S.G.)
