Community Choice Aggregation

Community Choice Aggregation Pilot Program

The Local Government Commission (LGC), in partnership with the League of California Cities and the California State Association of Counties, is working to assist local governments in California to explore the feasibility of becoming community choice aggregators. This project is funded by the California Energy Commission and the U.S. Department of Energy, and benefits from the technical assistance of Navigant Consulting, Inc.

LGC and Navigant are assisting 12 pilot communities to undertake feasibility studies for CCA. This includes developing a template for determining cost issues, and providing the pilot communities with the information they will need to file CCA implementation plans with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). We are working with communities in each of the three investor owned electric utilities’ services territories.

Another part of the project is to keep interested local governments and other parties apprised of the CPUC decision process on how to implement the Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) law. We have developed a series of reports on the CPUC process and a fact sheet for elected officials. We will be developing a guidebook and implementation plan template in 2007. We will be hosting workshops around the state to share this information. As materials are developed they will be posted on this site.
