After seven years of discussion and debate, a five-city community choice energy program that will provide an alternative to San Diego Gas & Electric when it comes to purchasing sources of power has rolled out the first phase of its operations.
San Diego Community Power, or SDCP consisting of San Diego, Chula Vista, La Mesa, Encinitas and Imperial Beach began serving municipal accounts across the five cities March 1 in places such as school districts, fire stations and libraries. By the end of March, about 700 municipal customers are expected to be lined up.
The community choice aggregation, or CCA, program plans for an additional 72,000 commercial and industrial customers in June and is scheduled to fold in 695,000 residential customers in January.
