Lake Forest Withdraws from Community Choice Energy Program
The City of Lake Forest is withdrawing from the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA).
Its city council voted 4–1 to withdraw from the OCPA board during a Feb. 16 meeting, ending plans for it to participate in a community choice aggregation (CCA) program.
“Sorry citizens and residents, we will never have a CCA,” Lake Forest Mayor Scott Voigts said following the vote.
Lake Forest had agreed last December to join the OCPA, a program started by the city of Irvine whereby cities can use a public utility service that allows them the choice of getting electricity from a utility provider or the government.
