July 15, 2019 (La Mesa)—The city of La Mesa is exploring a community choice aggregation (CCA) energy option to provide 100 percent clean energy for the entire community.
Tonight at 6 p.m., the city’s Environmental Sustainability Commission will discuss findings of a feasibility study funded jointly by the cities of La Mesa, Santee and Chula Vista on the viability of a CCA that would let each city purchase electrical power for its residents as an option to SDG&E for competitively priced clean energy.
The meeting will be held in the City Manager’s conference room at 8130 Allison Ave.

Options to SDG&E?
On aspect of a community choice energy option
could be for a city to pay its residents and businesses a higher rate than SDG&E does to purchase solar power that they produce, I'm told. That's an option I'd like to see, with less reliance on remote big energy projects that decimate rural and desert areas.
