I encourage our City Council to take the lead to <br />bring Community Choice Energy. It is win win for all residents, businesses, government agencies, schools, and <br />more. <br /> <br /> <br />As a Santa Ana business owner and resident, our family of 5 is 100% supportive and so pleased to to learn of <br />the opportunity that our city has to join Irvine’s planned Community Choice Energy through a Joint Powers <br />Agreement. <br /> <br /> <br />We fully advocated that the City Council vote in favor of Community Choice Energy - and many <br />residents and fellow CA cities are here to help! <br /> <br /> <br />Not only will the residents benefit by lower prices and cleaner energy sources, but the city itself will have a <br />source of revenue to improve city services with. <br /> <br /> <br /> Why Community Choice Energy? We need local choice, competitive rates, a means to support <br />renewable energy use, a way to build resilience locally, a means to build energy equity, and a way to <br />bring jobs and clean tech businesses to Orange County. <br /> <br /> CCE works! CCE in San Mateo has saved customers over $18 million & reduced an estimated <br />144,600 metric tons of carbon emissions each year - which is like removing over 30,000 cars <br />from the road each year. <br /> <br /> Plus when the city participates in a microgrid where residents and businesses are encouraged to be <br />electric energy producers by taking advantage of our plentiful roof space graced with plentiful Southern <br />California sunlight. It will be a win – win situation all around. <br /> <br /> <br />Please make it happen. You have our support and assistance along the way! <br /> <br />Here are the details of the Irvine meeting as I understand it: <br /> <br />Irvine is holding a Community Choice Informational Meeting for interested cities next Tuesday, September 15th, 1:30 <br />to 2:30. <br />Interested City Council Members and City Staff are invited to RSVP by September 14th: <br />Mark Steuer, Director of Public Works and Transportation at 949-724-7509 or msteuer@cityofirvine.org. <br /> <br /> <br />1 <br /> <br />
