Community  Choice  Aggrega7on  |CCA|    in  New  York  

CCA  is  the  concept  where  Municipali6es  are  empowered  to  work  with  other  municipali6es,  to  aggregate  the  electric  and  natural  gas  loads  of  their  residents  and  businesses  to  gain  greater  buying  power  in  states  with  deregulated  compe66ve  energy  markets.    •  PSC  approved  the  order  for  CASE  14-­‐M-­‐1224  allowing  CCA  statewide.

How  will  it  impact  your  energy  bill?  

•  Two  Components:  Your  electricity  bill  has  two  major  cost  components  –  Delivery  and  Supply.      

•  Supply:    CCA  changes  only  the  supply  component  of  your  bill.      

•  50%  to  75%    of  the  energy  bill  will  be  impacted.    The  other  component,  Delivery,  will  not  be  affected.    

•  Par6cipants  will  see  NO  change  in  their  u6lity  bill  other  than  a  price  reduc6on  on  energy  supply.

The  same  bulk-­‐purchasing  principles  and  benefits  of   launching  a  CCA  program  for  tradi6onal  power  apply  to  renewable  energy  procurement  –    the  larger  the  amount  of  energy  to  be  offset  (using  renewable  energy  cer6ficates  [REC]),  the  greater  the  savings.    Good  Energy  has  observed  an  increase  in  demand  for  local  renewable  energy  and  has   developed   partnerships   and   systems   to   facilitate   those   targets  making   them  reality.    Significant  Track  Record:  •  Illinois  (Municipal  Aggrega6on)  •  New  Jersey  (Government  Energy  Aggrega6on)  •  Massachusecs  (Municipal  Aggrega6on)
