About the Workshop

November 30, 2007, 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM
City County Library, San Luis Obispo, California

Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) allows cities and counties, or groups of them, to supply electricity to customers within their borders. These workshops are for local elected officials, city managers, county administrators, public works directors, facility managers, and other business and community members interested in learning about CCA.

The Local Government Commission and Navigant Consulting, Inc. have been working with a dozen cities and counties over the past three years to investigate the feasibility of implementing CCA. This project is funded by the California Energy Commission’s Public Interest Energy Research’s renewable energy program and the US Department of Energy. One of the goals of the project is to see if the cost of doubling the amount of renewable energy consumed in CCA communities could be economically competitive with utility rates.

Co-Sponsors: Local Government Commission, Assemblymember Sam Blakeslee, Air Pollution Control District, San Luis Obispo Council of Governments, and the Environmental Center of San Luis Obispo
