Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) is an independent, locally governed, not-for-profit community energy provider. OCPA is 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 are choosing local control of electricity procurement decisions, reducing the carbon footprint associated with their electricity service, and helping 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.
Choosing renewable energy helps move Orange County toward a more sustainable future, which ensures a more resilient, independent, and healthy environment. As a resident or business owner, you know how important efficiency, sustainability and reliability are when it comes to your electricity needs. With OCPA, you can count on a dependable source of renewable energy to be delivered to you year round.
