For the first time ever, you can choose your energy provider and the size of your carbon footprint.
Green energy (wind, solar, geothermal and biomass) is kinder on your health, the health of the planet, and the health of future generations.
Competitively priced, reliable electricity with three renewable energy plans. Or opt out and return to the investor-owned utility.
A proven solution to the climate crisis: OCPA is one of 25 community energy providers across California serving more than 14 million customers.
