Lake Forest officials have backed out of Orange County’s newly formed Power Authority and community choice energy program touted to lower costs for residents through investments in renewable energy.
For almost two hours on Tuesday night, officials heard residents and supporters urge them to “keep the Orange County Power Authority family together” and allow residents to choose their own energy at the meeting.
The City Council with a roll count vote of 4-1 decided on Tuesday to leave the authority despite residents’ calls to stay in the agency.
