Silicon Valley Community Choice Energy Partnership Meetings
On Friday, November 6, 2015 the Silicon Valley Community Choice Energy Partnership (SVCCEP) announced a second round of community meetings to introduce residents to the benefits of Community Choice Energy. This session will also share preliminary results of the partnership’s technical study and detail next steps in the program’s development.
Community Choice Energy allows city and county governments to pool the electricity demand of their communities to buy greener sources of electricity on behalf of residents and businesses in their jurisdictions. Shifting to greener energy sources through a Community Choice Energy program is one of the most impactful actions Silicon Valley communities can take to lower carbon emissions. In addition, a Community Choice Energy program can provide competitive electricity rate options, further incent residents and businesses towards photovoltaic solar, and stimulate the local green economy. Community Choice Energy has been successful for customers and beneficial for the environment in communities that have implemented these programs in California, such as Marin and Sonoma counties.
The community is encouraged to learn more about the potential benefits of Community Choice Energy at one of the community meetings being held in the South Bay:
