<br />Orozco, Norma <br />From:suvangeer@sbcglobal.net <br />Sent:Thursday, December 10, 2020 2:48 PM <br />To:Sarmiento, Vicente; Mendoza, Nelida; Bacerra, Phil; Penaloza, David; <br />thaivphan@gmail.com; jessie@votejessielopez.com; <br />johnathan@hernandezforsantaana.org; eComment <br />Subject:Support Community Choice Energy <br />Categories:Correspondence <br /> <br />Dear Santa Ana City Council and Mayor Sarmiento: <br /> <br />The Sierra Club OC Climate Action Committee urges you to vote now in support of Santa Ana moving <br />forward on Community Choice Energy! Why now? SCE is requesting a 14.4% increase in residential <br />rates for 2021. A CCE is the only significant tool our city has to protect residents from these <br />increases. A recent study by the City of Irvine concluded that CCE customers would save .5 to 2% off <br />SCE’s comparable rates, with higher savings predicted over time. It will generate income we can use <br />for local programs like stabilizing our electricity bills, bike lanes or EV chargers. All good, green things <br />you know are good for the city’s desirability and carbon footprint. <br /> <br />Best of all - for our kid’s future: The Irvine study also found that their CCE will enable that city to <br />achieve 100% clean energy by 2035 at no additional cost to customers, while reducing emissions by <br />360,000 metric tons each year. That's like taking more than 78,000 cars off the road. Environmental <br />benefits would be comparable for Santa Ana. <br /> <br />Please, our Club’s Santa Ana members urge you to vote to move forward on CCE this month in <br />order to meet a year-end California Public Utilities Commission deadline that must be met in order to <br />begin service in 2022. If this council misses this deadline, Santa Ana residents cannot get CCE until <br />2023. <br /> <br />Do not delay the vote on being part of the Community Choice Energy Authority now forming in OC. <br />It’s the right action and the right time. <br /> <br />Suvan Geer <br />Santa Ana resident <br />Chair, Sierra Club Climate Action Committee <br /> <br />1 <br />
