The natural evolution
of the electric grid
Community Choice Aggregation
Technology and community needs have evolved and it is time
for the next stage in the electric grid. Enter Community Choice
Aggregation, CCA for short. Under the CCA model, these public
entities allow communities to take control of their energy decisions
and implement locally driven energy projects — everything
from community solar, to EV adoption to disaster resilient micro-
grids. CCA members are seeing lower power bills and more rapid
adoption of carbon-free energy sources along with innovative
locally driven projects.
Alan Hickenbottom
Alan Hickenbloom is the Oregon Project Manager for LEAN Energy US,
the national education and advocacy organization for Community Choice
Aggregation. A native Oregonian, Alan has been an Oregon renewable
energy and clean tech entrepreneur for more than 15 years. He is a
current or former board member of Clean Energy Works Oregon,
NW Environmental Business Council, Oregon Business Association,
Build Local Alliance and the Oregon Natural Desert
Association.
