CCA maximizes the buying power of a community. This results in cost savings, advancement of local renewable energy and sustainability initiatives, consumer protection and a more engaged community.
What is a CCA Program?
A CCA Program is an optional buying group organized by a municipality or group of municipalities to benefit electric customers. The Program enters into an electricity supply contract for all residential and business customers currently receiving utility default service within a given municipality.
By combining electricity usage of the residences and small businesses within a municipality or county, the combination of thousands of homes and businesses exponentially compounds their individual buying power. Customers are automatically enrolled unless they opt-out.
As a collective group, the community is given the power of greater choice and greater control over how they source and price their electricity supply. This is a great way to both decrease utility spend and to advance the community’s sustainability goals.
What are the benefits of CCA?
- Provides price stability and protects the consumer from price volatility.
- Protects the uninformed consumer from predatory business practices.
- Embraces the freedom of choice with community members opting in/out.
