Commercial Rates

As a locally run not-for-profit Joint Powers Authority, the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) is powering a cleaner energy for today and as a legacy for future generations. OCPA is a CCA committed to providing cleaner, renewable electricity choices at competitive rates, and investing in innovative programs that benefit residents, businesses, the environment and the economy in our communities. When customers enroll with OCPA, they help empower local control of electricity procurement decisions, reduce the carbon footprint associated with their electricity service, and help support the growth of local renewable projects. Rather than providing profits to investors, OCPA’s net revenue (after buying power and administrative expenses) can be used to help stabilize electricity prices, provide incentives for solar installations, support energy efficiency programs, and develop more local renewable energy sources in and near Orange County. This will keep the electricity rates competitive and enable OCPA to invest in innovative, clean technologies and energy-related job training.
