EAC hears update on CCA exploration; committee to meet Oct. 23 on opt‑in renewable program
Summary
Council members reported that a local Community Choice Aggregation plan is under study; an exploration committee ("Pennsylvania Electric Plan Cooperative") will meet Oct. 23 to discuss an opt‑in renewable program while legal challenges proceed.
Members of the Narberth Environmental Advisory Council on Oct. 9 reported an update on Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) activity in the region. The transcript records that organizers are pursuing a CCA program and that legal and procedural work is ongoing.
Council members said the effort will proceed while pending litigation and appeals to the Commonwealth Court are resolved; organizers plan an exploration committee (referred to in meeting comments as a "Pennsylvania Electric Plan Cooperative") to study forming an opt‑in renewable energy program. The EAC recorded the committee's first meeting for Oct. 23; meeting time had not been finalized at the Oct. 9 EAC meeting.
Members noted several open questions the exploration committee aims to address, including whether the opt‑in model will be open to different municipal types (townships, boroughs and cities), how rates will compare with other offerings, and how a CCA would differ from existing energy cooperative programs. The EAC encouraged members to forward background materials and to coordinate with borough staff and the named contact on the program for local updates.
