Community Choice Aggregation Update

The CPUC held hearings on Phase 2 of its Community Choice Aggregation proceeding (R.03-10-003) from May 25^th through June 2^nd. Parties to the proceeding prepared briefs that were due July 8^th, with reply briefs due August 1^st. We are hoping for a draft decision in August or September.

Administrative Law Judge Kim Malcolm’s Phase 1 decision was very favorable to potential CCAs. Around the time she issues her Phase 2 draft decision, it will be very important for cities and counties who have any interest in community choice, to let the CPUC commissioners know of that interest, and to support the draft decision if it is favorable, or to suggest changes to the draft decision if it is not. So far, only a few communities have actively participated in the CPUC proceeding. The commissioners need to be aware that there is a broader interest in CCA, one that is dependent upon their favorable decision.

Watch for information about the draft decision, and how to contact the commissioners to express your interest and/or concerns with the draft decision.
