Local Power Inc. Details
Consultancy-Creators of Community Choice Aggregation & Solar BondsWe are a small company that has had a massive impact on the energy industry, inventing some of the most innovative energy structures & programs in the world to transform the traditional utility business model. Local Power's co-founder Paul Fenn created the nation's first Community Choice Aggregation ("CCA") laws allowing communities in 7 states to break away from monopoly utilities to become energy independent. As of 2014, over 1500 cities & 5 percent of Americans, from Marin County, CA to Cape Cod, MA, are served by CCAs. Local Power Inc. was the "founder" of Marin Clean Energy & has designed pathbreaking CCA programs for Bay Area counties & localization programs for Boulder, Colorado & Sacramento, California. We also drafted the nation's first financing authority for renewable energy & efficiency measures on homes & businesses - San Francisco's 2001 H Bond Authority (City Charter section 9.107.8) - which was key to both making CCAs deliver an entirely new utility business model, "CCA 2.0," & spawning the "solar finance" model in the U.S., from PACE to SolarCity.We are a leading energy engineering, program design, & policy firm hired serving CCAs & municipal utilities design programs, collect and analyze energy & infrastructure data, analyze risk, advise on power procurement, create energy cost & financial models for local build-outs, & present budgets for regional transitions to Distributed Energy Resources - local renewable energy, energy efficiency, microgrids, energy storage, & smart grid.As municipal energy involves politics, we also run successful political campaigns, winning the 2001 San Francisco Solar Bond Authority defeating PG&E's Prop 16 campaign against CCA in 2010. Our co-founder Julia Peters ran Jerry Brown's Oakland Mayoral campaign in 1998, and ran the nation's largest door-to-door canvass for the Public Interest Research Groups (PIRGS).
