Its the law!
California Cities and Counties can participate in Community Choice Aggregation (CCA). By passing a CCA ordinance, a city, a county, or a group of two or more cities or counties can "aggregate" the electricity loads of their constituents, and go directly to the competitive wholesale power markets to arrange for their electricity supplies. As before, your existing utility will transmit and deliver the power to your constituents, and will also continue to provide metering and billing services.
But power markets can be risky, unless some simple precautions are taken. First and foremost - find a partner with experience! Second, approach CCA in a way that puts risk where it belongs - on the shoulders of the suppliers, not the buyers of energy services.
Energy Choice, Inc. is your partner for Community Choice Aggregation in California. We bring unparalleled experience in power markets, energy policy and regulation, and agency formation and management. By joining ECI's Community Choice Alliance, you gain access to invaluable experience, information, and technical support. If you later join one of ECIs power purchasing JPAs, you'll become a member of a carefully crafted buying group with the volumes and load characteristics that virtually guarantee you and your constituents will save money over their current utility costs.
ECI will help you determine if CCA makes sense for you. And if it does, ECI will be your partner - providing the expertise, experience, contacts, and technical support to make your JPA a force in the energy markets. In other words, if you decide to join our buying group, we'll deliver the ability to immediately enjoy the benefits of competitive power purchasing. And we're a true partner - we don't charge any up-front consulting fees, we stick with you and tend to day-to-day operations of the buying JPAs, and we only get paid when we create savings and revenues for you.
