CLEAN ENERGY
Our region needs 100% clean energy for all—
where every community has the power to decide their energy future.
Why 100% Clean Energy?
Transitioning to 100% local clean energy is essential to curb our region's second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions: electricity. Investing in local renewable energy will create thousands of jobs, paving the way for a green economy that ensures a safer and more reliable energy future.
​
Many Southern California residents face increasingly high utility bills, with nearly 25% of SDG&E's residential ratepayers having missed payment deadlines.
​
We're paying some of the country's highest utility rates because monopoly utilities prioritize gas industry profit over people and the planet. Within the City of San Diego alone, SDG&E makes $1 million daily in net profits!
This shouldn't be our reality; we deserve better than the highest rates for dirty energy. Enter Community Choice Energy programs.

The Fight For Community Choice
Climate Action Campaign has been at the forefront of this energy transition, securing a landmark 100% clean energy Climate Action Plan in 2015. Through strong partnerships with local entities over five years, we harnessed grassroots support and gained Community Planning Group endorsements, pushing Community Choice across the finish line.
We pioneered the launch of two CCE programs in San Diego, San Diego Community Power and the Clean Energy Alliance, and the Orange County Power Authority in Orange County. With 17 cities in San Diego and Orange County participating in a CCE program, we’re on a mission to continue to expand energy democracy across California!

Why Community Choice?
Community Choice Energy (CCE), or Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), empowers ratepayers by providing energy democracy and decision-making abilities. CCEs enable communities to select their energy sources, promoting a path to 100% clean energy. 94% of OCPA residential customers opted into the 100% Renewable Energy plan. Relying solely on investor-owned utilities excludes ratepayers from crucial decisions, whereas CCEs give ratepayers a seat at the table and reinvest generated revenue into community programs.
