Description
In January 2019, San Diego Gas & Electric announced it will no longer buy wholesale electricity for customers in San Diego. The company will only maintain the grid. What this means for our region is that the civic entities that govern getting electricity to consumers must now form an electricity buying cooperative structure called a Community Choice Aggregation. Join Dr. Jose Torre-Bueno as he explains how this will work and what it will mean for your future electric bills.
