Sustain SoCal CCE Feasibility Study
Sustain SoCal CCE Aggregated Feasibility Study
Sustain SoCal has launched an initiative to conduct a Community Choice Energy (CCE) Aggregated Feasibility Study
Numerous cities in Orange County and San Diego County are currently making plans to join this important Sustain SoCal research project, a vital step in the process of forming a CCE.
The Sustain SoCal CCE Aggregated Feasibility Study offers municipal governments and other stakeholders the opportunity to join together in conducting a comprehensive study that examines the impact of replacing their community’s incumbent electric utility with a locally-controlled CCE organization.
The information developed in this Aggregated Feasibility Study can be instrumental in helping city councils and staff assess the potential impact of a CCA on their city at a fraction of the cost of a traditional feasibility study. .
Initial Considerations for Participating in the Sustain SoCal CCE Aggregated Feasibility Study
- Communities want choice in energy providers
- Communities want lower energy prices, economic development opportunities and local control
- Communities want cleaner forms of energy and purchase options
- Communities are skeptical of government run programs
- Non-profit, business focused trade association can provide bridge between competing considerations
Guiding Principles for the Sustain SoCal CCE Aggregated Feasibility Study
- Accelerate sustainability and cleantech economic growth through innovation, collaboration and education
- Provide a platform for ongoing discussion and create educational programs for members and key stakeholders on cleantech and sustainability
- Facilitate community choice energy educational opportunities and outreach to cities
- Focus on cleantech, economic development, local control, energy innovation and creating markets for cleantech, sustainability and new energy technologies
- Encourage community involvement in local energy planning decisions
