In this episode we discuss the topic "Community Choice Aggregation & Solar Energy."
\\nSolar expert Jamie Duran details the benefits solar customers can expect when their electricity provider changes over to a Community Choice Aggregation company (CCA). PG&E customers have been automatically enrolled in CCAs unless they have chosen to opt out. In Northern California the most common CCAs are Marin Clean Energy (MCE) and East Bay Clean Energy.
\\nFrom the EPA website, here is an explanation of CCAs, which are currently in 7 states and growing.
\\n"Community choice aggregation (CCA), also known as municipal aggregation, are programs that allow local governments to procure power on behalf of their residents, businesses, and municipal accounts from an alternative supplier while still receiving transmission and distribution service from their existing utility provider. CCAs are an attractive option for communities that want more local control over their electricity sources, more green power than is offered by the default utility, and/or lower electricity prices. By aggregating demand, communities gain leverage to negotiate better rates with competitive suppliers and choose greener power sources."
