Clean Power Alliance is proud to provide clean, renewable energy options to communities across Los Angeles and Ventura counties. These options include wind, geothermal, solar, and small hydroelectric and often include energy storage to ensure reliable energy supply and competitive rates for our customers. In 2023, CPA’s overall portfolio is expected to be more than 70% renewable energy.
Since CPA began operations, our customers have prevented more than 4.6 billion pounds of harmful greenhouse gas emissions. Collectively this is equivalent to 455,000 automobiles being taken off the road every year, or nearly 35 million tree seedings being planted and grown for 10 years.

Wind energy is harnessed by turning large turbines with naturally flowing air in the Earth's atmosphere. The spinning turbines transform the wind into electricity.
Solar electricity is generated when sunlight hits solar panels. Sunlight contains photons that form an electrical circuit within a solar panel that generates electricity.
Geothermal energy is heat derived below the earth’s surface which can be harnessed by turbines to generate clean, renewable energy.
Hydroelectric energy from small projects is a form of renewable energy that uses the power of moving water to generate electricity. Hydroelectric facilities that are smaller than 30 MW capacity are eligible renewable energy resources and are referred to as “eligible hydroelectric”.
Hydroelectric energy is a form of carbon free energy that uses the power of moving water to generate electricity. Hydroelectric facilities that are greater than 30 MW capacity have other environmental consequences and are therefore not considered to be an eligible renewable energy resource.
Biowaste electricity is generated or produced by food waste, wastewater, manure, biogas, and organic wastes from industrial operations. The energy from these substances can be heated or converted into electricity through natural processes.
Unspecified energy is the amount of energy not specifically claimed by a utility, where the original source of energy cannot be determined or specified in a contract. It can also be called “system power” and often is imported from outside California.
