The landscape of the traditional legacy utility continues to be challenged by new technologies, public policies, and customer demands. Among the latest developments that are creating change in the power sector is the rise of Community Energy organizations. Community energy, such as community choice aggregators, enables customers to take an unprecedented level of control over their power services by offering them the option to engage with new providers, which opens them up to choosing the company that best aligns with their energy goals. In particular, customers who are particularly clean energy-focused are finding the opportunity to engage with community energy to be a game-changer in taking ownership of their energy and carbon footprints.
Joining the Energy Central Power Perspectives Podcast to discuss what it's like to be one of these new players in the space of Community Energy is Nick Chaset, the CEO of East Bay Community Energy in the Bay Area of California. With a service area filled with many businesses and residents who jump at the opportunity to play a role in the clean energy transition, not to mention the region's innovation-minded reputation, EBCE has an unparalleled opportunity to push the envelope of Community Energy offerings. Nick joins podcast host Jason Price and producer Matt Chester to share his insights and lessons learned from what EBCE has been able to accomplish to date.
