​Summary

 In 2019, an unprecedented number of California communities started forming Community Choice Aggregators (CCAs).  In light of the climate emergency, it is encouraging that most of them will offer plans with a higher ratio of renewable energy than the state-mandated minimums.  This means that procuring enough renewable energy to serve all the utilities in California may be more difficult in the future. In particular, the Public Utility Commission (PUC) has said that the Resource Adequacy requirement for 115% of projected demand will be very hard to procure.   After many years of advocacy for the formation of CCAs, the   San Diego Energy District  (SDED) has shifted its focus from advocacy to education, beginning with our 2019   webinar series.  The webinar series had 725 attendees from 235 organizations. 

The next major SDED public event was held in cooperation with the   UCSD Center for Energy Research and the Center for Community Energy.  On June 5, 2020, the SDED held a 1-day virtual  Community Energy Symposium *  to inform elected officials, government personnel, CCA staff, and concerned citizens about the issues, regulations, and resources they will need to be familiar with as they form CCA agencies in San Diego County and other areas in California.  The symposium emphasized areas of significant importance, including Distributed Energy Resources and other programs such as microgrids and Demand Response that allow CCAs to speed decarbonization and avoid Resource Adequacy risk and high-cost energy purchases.

​The   SDED 2020 Community Energy Virtual Symposium  was held June 5th.  The symposium showed how CCAs can become operationally successful – technically and financially – as quickly as possible.  

 *This event was originally scheduled as an in-person symposium to be held in San Diego.  In early March, due to  the COVID-19 health concerns, it was changed to a virtual symposium.
