In September, Clean Power Alliance and Community Choice Aggregators (CCA) across California celebrated the 20th anniversary of Assembly Bill 117, the legislation that enabled cities and counties across the state to create community choice energy programs.
CCAs, also known as municipal aggregation programs, allow local governments to purchase renewable energy on behalf of residents and businesses and transmit that energy across existing transmission lines.
Since the bill’s signing, the CCA community has grown to include 24 operational programs statewide, including CPA, providing renewable energy from wind, solar and geothermal sources to more than 11 million local customers and over 200 cities and counties across California.
