Many options are available to East Bay cities for developing a clean energy system, with some already underway. The Local Clean Energy Alliance has identified the following portfolio of tools as holding the greatest promise for increasing local clean energy generation and energy efficiency in our region:

• Community Choice Energy
• Energy Efficiency Programs
• Feed-in Tariffs
• Sustainable Energy Financing Districts
• Community Purchasing Programs

Community Choice Energy could be the mechanism to implement all of these highly effective and mutually reinforcing programs in the most cost-efficient manner. Full details on each of these tools are found in our policy platform document: The 21st Century Energy Greenprint for the East Bay.
