CCA 3.0: Municipal Climate Mobilization
In 2024, the New York Public Service Commission aproved Local Power LLC to implement its CCA 3.0 Service. This followed our 2020 CCA 3.0 program design, a third generation CCA business plan to use a CCA as a platform or umbrella for community-wide energy transitions.

CCA 3.0 is a platform upon which to meet the United Nation's ten-year deadline for energy transformation "to avert irreversible damage to the earth's ecology." Reflecting lessons learned from our launch of the CCA 2.0 model in California, CCA 3.0 takes yet another leap to fully realize the climate impact potential of CCA across the US. Shifting CCA 2.0's centralized renewable energy model to a behind-the-meter, local customer ownership-centered approach, 3.0 enables communitywide decarbonization by integrating electric vehicle batteries, onsite heating, air conditioning and hot water systems on renewable microgrids, organizing customer co-investment and sharing to reduce the use of energy from grid and pipeline. Apart from its shift from "additionality" to "subtractionality," and its "all energy" approach to accomplishing this, CCA 3.0 significantly unlocks "widespread" voluntary customer investment in onsite technologies through municipal Green Bond financing, customer shares and cooperatives.
Local Power's new report, which includes Local Power's third national survey of CCAs since 2010, presents a "shovel ready," already-legal pathway for Local Green New Deal initiatives by CCAs in CA, IL, MA, NH, NJ, OH, RI and VA.
