Community Choice Aggregation
U.S. municipalities are increasingly choosing CCA, Green Bonds and onsite sharing 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 local energy suppliers.
As of 2025, CCA laws cover over one half U.S. annual electricity demand in ten states, with over 1500 municipalities already serving about ten percent (10%). 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. "CCA 3.0".
In December, 2024, Local Power received authorization from the New York Public Service Commission to act as a CCA Program Administrator in New York State, approving our CCA Administrator "Master Implementation Plan."
In 2025, the Public Service Commission ordered a separation of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Opt-Out from Distributed Energy Resources (DER) Opt-In services. Therefore the City and Town of Ithaca, New York adopted separate laws and executed separate agreements to adopt both a CCA program and a DER program with Local Power LLC. Local Power was selected in 2025 by the City and Town of Ithaca to implement the company's new community energy transition business model. Local Power is thus administering two separate local municipal energy program operations, CCA being conducted under the state authority, and the DER "Own Your Power" being conducted under municipal authority. While these two Local Power-administered programs are based on separately adopted Local municipal CCA and DER laws, plans and contracts, the two programs are designed to be complimentary, and are being presented in a manner to provide clear choices to energy users and a robust platform that energy users may use to participate in local community energy transitions.
