Executive Summary/Explanation & Analysis
The Clean Energy Alliance is a community choice energy joint powers authority that began
serving electric utility customers within the cities of Carlsbad, Del Mar and Solana Beach in May
2021. Community choice energy programs allow local governments to purchase their own
power, and to choose how it is generated. The cities of Escondido and San Marcos have now
joined the Clean Energy Alliance to begin receiving service in 2023. The cities of Oceanside and
Vista have also joined and will receive service beginning in 2024.
This item will present an informational report summarizing the agency’s operations and
performance to date, recent member agency expansions, and an overview of the alliance’s
2023 operating plans, rates and priorities.
