Community Choice Energy (CCE)

• Allows communities that are served by investor-owned utilities (IOUs) to choose alternative wholesale electricity suppliers.
• The utility still owns and operates the "poles and wires" and delivers the electricity.
• Individuals can opt out of the CCE and buy their electricity from the utility if they wish.
• Benefits:  Cheaper electricity,  cleaner electricity faster,  more innovative and locally-relevant energy programs,  more energy dollars remain local.
