District shifts majority of accounts to Clean Power Alliance; small number remain with SCE

District staff reported to the board that, after the board’s earlier direction to pursue neutrality and maximize Clean Power Alliance (CPA) renewable generation, an analysis of 16 district accounts found that nine accounts (representing about 82% of bill amounts) will remain on CPA’s 100% renewable (Green) product, one account will move to a 50% clean option and two small accounts (all‑night streetlights) will remain with Southern California Edison (SCE). When the 50% option is included, the accounts on CPA cover roughly 90% of the district's billable usage.

Staff explained that the two accounts staying with SCE are classified as "all night" (street lights) and switching them to a 40% product would increase costs by roughly 9% for those lines. Given their very small share of the district’s overall billing (about 0.07% of the total billing amount), staff recommended leaving them with SCE to be fiscally prudent. The board thanked staff for the detailed account‑by‑account work.

District staff also noted that the analysis used Southern California Edison’s rates as of Oct. 1 and that the district will continue to monitor CPA and SCE rate changes and adjust accounts as necessary.

Why it matters Moving the large majority of district accounts to CPA’s 100% Green option increases the district’s renewable electricity supply and advances the board’s sustainability objectives while staff retained discretion to keep a tiny portion of load on SCE when offloading those accounts would have produced disproportionate cost increases.
