Subject: Community Choice Electricity Aggregation / Energy Independence
Comment:
Promote and enable Community Choice Electricity Aggregation (CCA), which lets communities pool their buying power to generate clean power. Reform State regulations of utilities so that they can make as much ROI on renewable investments as they can off transmission lines that can import dirty power. California's leadership on GHG reductions won't matter if the system is set up to allow importing of power that is emitting more GHG at the source. Ensure that any imported power into the state is mitigating for GHG or set incentives such that new transmission lines are not more profitable than energy independence investments - i.e. local solar power and wind.
