Danville's Feedback Sought on Electricity and Energy Options

From the City of Danville: Residents and businesses in Danville are invited to attend public workshops on the topic of Community Choice Energy (CCE). CCE allows cities to participate in a Joint Powers Authority (JPA) that purchases, sources or generates electricity for their residents and businesses with the goal of gaining local control, expanding consumer choices and reducing consumer costs. The Town of Danville joined with 13 other cities and Contra Costa County to examine the feasibility of CCE options. A technical study on CCE was finalized in March 2017.

“A Community Choice Energy (CCE) program would change how electricity is procured for Danville’s 17,000 residential and commercial customers,” said Assistant to the Town Manager Nat Rojanasathira. “Feedback from electricity ratepayers at public workshops and through the online survey will help the Town Council make an informed decision on whether or not to move forward with CCE.”

The public workshops are scheduled for Wednesday, March 29, 2017 from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. and Thursday, April 13 from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Veterans Memorial Building, 115 E. Prospect Avenue in Danville. Residents and businesses are also encouraged to learn more about the CCE options and take the online survey here.

In May, the Danville Town Council will consider options on how electricity should be generated and purchased in Danville.
