This three-part webinar series launches three new white papers on the behavioral science of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA).
Developed in collaboration with Calpine Energy Solutions, this work explores what customers want from their energy utility, how best to communicate the CCA value proposition, and ways to address and attenuate opt-outs.
Webinar 1 - October 23, 2023

Community choice aggregation (CCA) is an emerging energy procurement model wherein local governmental entities purchase energy from suppliers on behalf of their residents. Residents in a CCA-served area are automatically enrolled when a new CCA launches, and able to opt out at any time. Understanding customer preferences can help CCA providers design programs that meet customer desires and create messaging that effectively conveys how they will do so.

Residents of California are defaulted into Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) services. Historically, CCA customer retention rates have been very high, perhaps supported by the lower costs and greater levels of renewable generation afforded through the CCA model. However, some customers do choose to opt out, and return to their previous provider. Understanding when and why customers opt out will be key to minimizing such action in future.

Residents in a CCA-served area are automatically enrolled when a new CCA launches, and able to opt out at any time. See Change Institute undertook a series of three studies that aim to address the question: how can communications about CCAs be improved to motivate more support for this model and reduce opt-outs?
