Community Choice Aggregation En Banc Hearing

February 1, 2017
9:30 am – 4 pm / California Public Utilities Commission
505 Van Ness Avenue, Auditorium
(Corner of Van Ness Avenue and McAllister Street)
San Francisco, California 94102

The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will hold a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) En Banc hearing on February 1, 2017. CCAs are local governmental entities authorized by statute to procure electricity on behalf of their customers, delivered via the investor-owned utility transmission and distribution system. CCAs have been expanding and are expected to continue to expand. This creates regulatory questions including: What entities will be responsible for electricity procurement, contracting and reliability in the future? Are there likely to be stranded utility assets? How will CCA expansion impact regulatory oversight of environmental and public purpose programs? The En Banc hearing will assemble a diverse panel of experts to consider these and related issues. An agenda and a staff issue paper will be available before the En Banc hearing.

Although a quorum of Commissioners and/or their staff may be in attendance, no official CPUC action will be taken at this event.
For questions, please contact Mitchell Shapson at or 415.703.2727.
If you require special accommodations, please notify the Public Advisor’s Officer at toll free 1-866-849-8390 or , at least 5 business days before the En Banc.

Proceeding A.12-08-007 is providing direction to the Statewide Marketing, Education and Outreach program known as “Energy Upgrade California.” Decision 16-03-029, from September, 2016, states “…we endorse and establish a collaborative, record-based process to be followed by the statewide implementer, local program administrators, and other stakeholders to develop the five-year ME&O Strategic Roadmap and Annual Joint Consumer Action Plans. We direct the statewide implementer and other stakeholders to ensure that this process results in final “deliverables” including: (1) revised strategies to implement the adopted short- and long-term goals of the program; (2) revised measurable objectives to determine success in implementing the strategies; (3) specific metrics to be used to evaluate the progress and success of the program; and (4) the five-year Strategic Roadmap and the first Annual Joint Consumer Action Plan.” A competitive RFP process led to the selection of DDB as the implementer for Statewide ME&O as of January 1, 2017.
On November 29, 2016, the Commission held an initial workshop to present evaluation results, and to initiate a discussion regarding vision, strategies, objectives, and metrics for the program. The focus of the January 12, 2017 workshop will be the development of the 5 year Strategic Roadmap and the integration between statewide ME&O and that implemented by program administrators. This will be followed by a third workshop on February 8, 2017, to discuss the 1 year Joint Consumer Action Plan. Workshop materials, agenda, and webinar details will be posted at prior to the workshop. For more information, contact Rory Cox at .
