Community Choice Energy will bring Laguna Beach families consumer choice, clean electricity, lower bills and millions of dollars for city programs.

Laguna Beach has an opportunity to act on a revenue-positive energy program that could bring Laguna Beach millions in new revenue streams, and save Laguna Beach families millions of dollars a year. It also gives Laguna Beach families and businesses a choice in energy providers other than our current monopoly Socal Edison (SCE), which is planning a 20% rate increase for all customers in 2020*.

On December 10, 2019, Irvine City Council unanimously voted to create a CCE Joint Powers Authority after multiple recommendations from their Green Ribbon Committee and Finance Commission agreed with their feasibility study, which found that in addition to bringing the city $10.6 million in annual net revenue and $7.7 million in annual savings for Irvine consumers, CCE will bring $120,000 in annual municipal electricity savings and achieve 100% clean energy by 2035 at no additional cost to customers. 

On January 10, 2020, Irvine invited Laguna Beach to respond by February. 

Please sign this petition to tell Laguna Beach's leaders to vote and study CCE now. No more delays. We deserve a CHOICE. #YEStoChoice
