Community Choice Aggregation

Empowering Communities Through Local Energy Choice

Local Energy Choice, Backed by Real Expertise

Priority Power partners with communities to launch and manage Community Choice Aggregation programs, giving residents and businesses more energy choice, competitive supply options, and long-term value, from authorization through renewal.

What Is Community Choice Aggregation?

Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) – called “Community Power” in states like New Hampshire – lets a city, town, or county combine residents’ and small businesses’ electricity load to negotiate a competitive supply contract.

Your utility still delivers power, maintains the lines, and sends your bill; only the supplier can change. Most programs are opt-out. You’re enrolled automatically but can leave anytime, free.
