Community Choice Aggregation

Following Local Power’s lead, municipalities are increasingly choosing CCA specifically as a powerful vehicle to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, create local economic development and green jobs, or improve local energy resilience. This is possible because CCA is enabled and facilitated by state laws under which communities may break away from their monopoly electricity supplier and negotiate with energy wholesalers, and sometimes brokers, and local renewable energy developers and energy efficiency installers.

As of 2025, CCA laws cover over one half U.S. annual electricity demand in ten states, with over 1500 municipalities already serving about fifty (50) million Americans(14%). CCA is widely recognized for achieving the highest levels of green power at the lowest prices in the United States, building many Gigawatts of new local renewable energy, and has already saved American residents and businesses in the billions of dollars on their energy bills in the past two decades. Today, CCAs are the largest issuers of Green Bonds in the U.S. - larger than China and Canada last year, and top the National Renewable Energy Laboratory's list of U.S. utilities for numbers of customers buying renewable energy above state minimums. CCA is now officially the most powerful platform in America for climate mobilization. In 2024, Local Power received approval from New York regulators to operate its new CCA program design, "CCA 3.0", and is working with municipalities to implement the most powerful platform ever.
