#CommunityChoice could be on the way to the San Joaquin Valley! The @CityofFresno—led by @District5Chavez—is taking a look at forming a #CCA to give residents more options when it comes to their electricity provider. It's the path to a #BrightEnergyFuture! https://t.co/7aW0zozQOg
.@PenCleanEnergy’s rebates on #electricvehicles are getting attention—from high places! "The generous rebates and the ability to reduce my dependence on fossil fuels made it an easy decision for me,” says #EV buyer & #CaLeg Assemblymember @kevinmullin. https://t.co/obmjRZ7bNm
“Offshore wind energy is coming to Humboldt County in less than a decade”—and #CommunityChoice leader @redwood_energy is making it happen! It’s looking like a breezy, #BrightEnergyFuture, with cleaner energy and well-paying local jobs! https://t.co/drt7HTvG6Q
STOP THE PRESSES - @PoweredbyEBCE has formally concluded its first major renewable energy procurement and we are pleased to announce that we have contracted for over 500 MWs of California solar at the astoundingly low average price of $22/MWh.
Will offshore wind help power the transition to a carbon-free economy? The answer may lie in California, where two #CommunityChoice providers, @mbcommunitypwr & @redwood_energy, have agreed to purchase more than 1,000MW of floating offshore wind energy. https://t.co/xQjYdjq8D5
Your semi-regular reminder that while Wall St. interests fight for control of PG&E, 10 million Californians have taken control of their own energy decisions—joining public, not-for-profit #CommunityChoice programs that offer cleaner energy at lower cost. https://t.co/V54O7fXoEr
Is #CommunityChoice an "energy game changer?” Spoiler alert from out west: Yep! Ten million Californians (and growing) get their electricity from local providers—who are tapping cleaner energy sources, at lower cost. Game, set, #BrightEnergyFuture! https://t.co/TOE7J61UlW
@countyofsb @mbcommunitypwr @Bruce_McPherson This is only the start for #CommunityChoice! Local energy programs now serve 10M Californians and could absorb 85% of PG&E's load share by 2025. “You can see the explosion start to happen,” says @CalCCA’s Beth Vaughan. “Local communities want their energy providers to be local.”
It was a big week for #CommunityChoice in San Diego, but this movement isn’t just sweeping #SoCal—it's catching on all over the state. Case in point: In the last year, 10 Central Coast cities (+@countyofsb!) have joined @mbcommunitypwr. https://t.co/aVPoaBIxRS
@countyofsb @mbcommunitypwr @Bruce_McPherson “It just kind of took off,” said J.R. Killigrew, director of communications for @mbcommunitypwr, which will serve nearly a half million accounts beginning in 2021. “In six months, we more or less have unified the Central Coast.” https://t.co/aVPoaBIxRS
CCA is now proliferating across California. "You can see the explosion start to happen," said Beth Vaughan, executive director of CalCCA. "It absolutely makes sense that the local communities want their energy providers to be local." https://t.co/tGY3MOdL89
Yesterday was the day, San Diego has a #CCA! @CityofSanDiego has agreed to form a regional #CommunityChoice program w/up to 4 other cities. When launched in 2021, the #CCA will offer cleaner energy, at lower cost, w/more local control! #BrightEnergyFuture https://t.co/UEJUlI9oIm
@CityofSanDiego@bry4sd@SDGE@CleanPowerInfo “Today is a monumental step toward 100% renewable energy for our city, and a greener & cleaner future for our region,” says Mayor @Kevin_Faulconer. “This is about lower energy costs for customers, green jobs for working families & renewable energy powering homes and businesses."
.@CountyofButte and the City of Chico have taken steps to form a #CommunityChoice program, which would be called Butte Choice Energy! Community members would “get ‘greener’ energy from renewable sources”—plus local control! https://t.co/YbHwVu9p6O
