The goal of a CCE (which is also called community choice aggregation or CCA) is to provide cleaner, greener, and more local electricity to customers.  Alameda County and the city of Berkeley are studying the possibilities of doing this.  LWVBAE needs a member to participate in the study and keep our membership informed. * just filled by Janice Blumenkrantz*  Thank-you Janice.
