San Diego Community Power (SDCP), a community choice aggregation program began serving municipal accounts – school districts, fire stations and libraries – on March 1st.  SDCP plans to add an additional 72,000 commercial and industrial customers in June and is scheduled to add 695,000 residential customers next January.  SDCP offers two rates plans:  PowerOn, which delivers power from 50 percent renewable sources and 5 percent from sources that are free of greenhouse gas emissions; and Power100, a slightly more expensive option that is 100 percent renewable.  All customers in SDCP’s five cities will be automatically enrolled. If customers want to remain with SDG&E, they can opt out of SDCP for free.  For more information see, https://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/business/energy-green/story/2021-03-01/sdcp-newser.
