We support this <br />program, because it saves customers money, brings in <br />revenue by keeping our rate-payer dollars in Santa Ana, <br />and allows us to convert to renewable energy faster. As <br />solar power customers we know the value first-hand that <br />renewable energy can bring. <br /> <br />CCE’s have brought in millions of savings to a number of <br />cities and counties already. Monterey Bay Customer <br />Savings: $14M in 2019; on track to deliver $19M in <br />savings this year, Clean Power SF has saved customers $11 <br />million, Irvine is looking at $10.6 million in annual net <br />revenue and $7.7 million in annual savings for consumers <br />while reducing emissions equal to removing 78,000 cars off <br />the road, and San Mateo’s CCE has saved customers over <br />$18 million and reduced emissions equal to taking 30,000 <br />cars off the road. <br /> <br />Santa Ana has a lot to gain economically as well as quality- <br />of-life wise by joining this initiative. When Santa Ana joins <br />with other cities, the program would generate $92 million <br />per year in revenue by 2031. This money can be used for <br />COVID relief, EV charging stations, subsidies for EV <br />vehicles, green public transportation and other programs <br />towards a greener OC. For Santa Ana to join in makes it a <br />win-win for both residents and the city. Don't pass up an <br />opportunity like this. Thank you for making the smart <br />choice. <br /> <br />Richard and Mila Payne <br />8 <br /> <br />
