Dear California Energy Commission,
I am a representative of Clean Energy Alliance (CEA), a Joint Powers Authority made up of the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar, Escondido, Oceanside, San Marcos, Solana Beach and Vista located in the County of San Diego. As a Community Choice Aggregator (CCA), CEA purchases electricity directly from energy suppliers on behalf of residents and local businesses within our seven cities. We commit to working with the County of Los Angeles on the Equitable Building Decarbonization Program (EBD Program).
If the County of Los Angeles is selected to administer the EBD Statewide Direct Install Program for the Southern Region of California, CEA commits to being an active program partner in offering a decarbonization program within their service territory. The County of Los Angeles’ vision for the EBD Statewide Direct Install Program aligns with CEA’s objectives, including reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building the local clean energy workforce.
Like our other coalition partners, CEA believes that local public agencies are best suited to administer this historic decarbonization effort. We understand our communities, our neighborhoods, and our citizens. The Southern California coalition led by the County of Los Angeles will deliver a united regional program implemented uniquely within each community, based on local needs, goals, and complementary offerings to ensure each household participating in our program is appropriately and equitably served.
We look forward to supporting this effort to drive direct, household-level action in the communities most impacted by climate change, and to setting our communities up for future success by supporting the development of a local skilled electrification workforce.
Sincerely,
Barbara Boswell
Chief Executive Officer
