The Clean Energy Alliance is over 250,000 total accounts as it crosses the five-year mark since it began serving North County as a Community Choice Aggregation.<\/p>\n
Most residential and business customers are enrolled in the default Clean Impact Plus plan, which has 75% carbon free energy, according to data Clean Energy Alliance CEO Greg Wade presented to the agency\u2019s board of directors at a June 25 meeting. There is also a 93% participation rate among the seven member cities. Customers are automatically enrolled in a CEA plan but can opt out and remain with San Diego Gas & Electric.<\/p>\n
CEA also launched Solar Plus and Solar Plus Connect programs aimed at giving customers access to solar panels.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re still seeing quite a bit of activity and engagement with our Solar Plus, battery bonus and our Connect versions of those programs,\u201d Wade said.<\/p>\n
The PeakSmart Savers program was launched to give customers a way to save on their bill in exchange for reducing their energy use during peak hours when there is a high demand on the grid.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough we\u2019d like to see a little bit more enrollment, we\u2019re up to 55 people who did extend it for another year,\u201d Wade said. \u201cThis is the demand response program for avoiding use on peak times during the high heat, high usage events. If the predictions are accurate, we might see quite a few of those this summer.\u201d<\/p>\n
There have also been 148 rate relief credit opt-downs, all but two of which are residential customers, since the program began on Feb. 1 in response to an increase in state-mandated exit fees that CEA had to pay SDG&E.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s encouraging to see that it\u2019s not a lot but also quite a few are getting information about how they can save some money on their bill,\u201d Wade said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Clean Energy Alliance is over 250,000 total accounts as it crosses the five-year mark since it began…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":156829,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[310,311,74,76,75],"class_list":["post-386846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-diego","tag-del-mar-times","tag-del-mar-times-news","tag-san-diego","tag-san-diego-headlines","tag-san-diego-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=386846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/386846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/156829"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=386846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=386846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=386846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
