Community Choice Aggregation
CCA Technical Study
Community Choice Aggregation Program
The Alameda County Community Development Agency issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) 15-CCA-1 in August 2015 covering the tasks and activities necessary to prepare a Technical / Feasibility Study for a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) energy program in Alameda County. A consultant, MRW & Associates, was awarded the contract at the end of 2015. This initial contract would be for no more than one year from the date of commencement, but could be extended / augmented if necessary to provide more complete services.
The Draft Analysis by MRW is now available (as of June 2016) and can be found HERE (PDF - 866kb). A Draft Appendix can be seen at THIS LINK (PDF - 587kb).
This analysis is critical to assessing whether a CCA Program will make economic sense and meet local environmental and social objectives. The technical / feasibility study identifies pertinent specifications and requirements associated with the prospective CCA Program (i.e., determination of how many customer accounts are likely to be served by the Program and identification of related tariff designations/options under which such customers will take electric service; quantification of expected electric energy requirements for customers participating in the prospective CCA Program; and determination of periodic peak demands associated with such customers as well as various other parameters), including the projected impacts of various clean energy and GHG reduction scenarios.
The technical study is also helpful in determining whether the CCA can provide electricity rates that are generally competitive with those offered by the incumbent utility. This study includes an economic / employment component to help determine the broad effects on economy and labor in the County. This study will be completed for the Community Development Agency (CDA) as the designated Agency tasked with investigating CCA on behalf of the County.
The study is being reviewed by the Alameda County Board of Supervisors and the Steering Committee established for the purpose of providing insight and feedback on the CCA opportunity and process.
Comments on this version of the Draft Analysis and Appendices are being accepted from the Steering Committee and interested public through June 10, 2016, after which the Consultant will compile and incorporate necessary changes to the analysis and documents.
Any comments and questions can be directed to Mr. Bruce Jensen, Senior Planner at (510) 670-6527 or by email.
