USA, California: Community Choice Associations Gaining Ground in Golden State

California Community Choice Association - Q4 2018 Update


While no new Community Choice Association (CCA)s will launch this year due to new rules established by the California Public Utilities Commission, there will still be significant enrollment activity as CleanPowerSF, Clean Power Alliance, and San Jose Clean Energy continue their service roll-outs to well over 1.5 million customers accounts. 

Looking beyond 2019, Western Community Energy and the cities of Baldwin Park, Commerce, Hanford, Pomona, Rialto, and Santa Paula have submitted CCA implementation plans to the CPUC with an eye toward launching new CCA programs in 2020. Monterey Bay Community Power is planning to initiate service to the cities of Morro Bay and San Luis Obispo in 2020, and MCE is expanding in Solano County. Desert Community Energy also plans to begin serving customers in 2020. Indeed, our map of CCA in California just keeps getting greener.
