Community Choice Comes to the Biltmore in Downtown Los Angeles May 18

Although not available to the general public, this high level Community Choice Aggregation Forum for local electeds, their staff and key decision makers here in Southern California is another sign of our growing momentum and broad interest in CCAs.

We are proud to have introduced this topic into the local zeitgeist last year and to have South Bay Clean Power’s initiative driving the attention and progress as we seek to build a Community Choice Power program that helps us transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy as rapidly as can be done.

Torrance is the largest city of the 15 cities that make up the South Bay Cities Council of Governments and the biggest electricity user.

Santa Monica has long been interested in its Community Choice options and joined the South Bay Clean Power efforts when they learned about our initiative and plans last summer.  We are thrilled to have our another world-famous Southern California Beach City participating, especially one with as long a sustainable history as Santa Monica has. solar-santa-monicaOn Tuesday, January 20, the City of Redondo Beach has the same resolution on their agenda‘s consent calendar where it is expected to pass, making Redondo the 4th city – and 4th world-famous beach city – in this effort that is quickly growing momentum. We are hopeful that the City of Torrance will follow suit one week later, on Tuesday, January 27, to become City Number Five, the largest and biggest electric power user of all in our initiative.

None of this is happening by accident. It is in fact part of a strategy designed last summer by our volunteer citizens working group that calls for all 15 cities of the South Bay Cities Council of Governments to become partners in a Community Choice Power program. The City of Santa Monica is now part of our revised 16 city plan.South Bay Clean Power Progress v2 2 Read More
