Community Choice Aggregation, or CCA, is an alternative to the
investor owned utility energy supply system in which local municipalities can
aggregate the buying power of individual customers within their borders, in
order to secure alternative energy supply contracts.
We spoke with Janice Scherer
of Southampton Town’s long range planning department about the Town’s interest
in establishing a CCA program.
Also we spoke with Gordian Raacke of Renewable Energy Long Island to get his take on the CCA program.
The main goals of CCAs have
been to either lower costs for consumers or to allow consumers greater control
of their energy mix, mainly by offering "greener" generation
portfolios than local utilities.
A
New York State law enables localities to establish CCA plans. The first such program was initiated in 2015.
in Westchester County.
Also we spoke with Gordian Raacke of Renewable Energy Long Island to get his take on the CCA program.
