Bill Summary

To allow community choice aggregation.

AI Summary

This bill proposes to amend existing state statutes to enable community choice aggregation (CCA), a process that allows groups of residential and commercial electric utility customers within the same municipality to collectively purchase electricity. Under this legislation, these customers can form power purchasing entities with the primary goals of increasing renewable energy usage and reducing energy costs. A key consumer protection feature is that individual customers would have the option to opt out of these aggregation groups if they choose, ensuring voluntary participation. Community choice aggregation essentially empowers local communities to pool their electricity purchasing power, potentially negotiating better rates and promoting more sustainable energy sources than traditional utility-provided electricity, while still maintaining individual customer choice.
