The City of San Luis Obispo has taken commendable first steps in exploring the benefits and possibility of Community Choice. However, I understand from our meeting that San Luis Obispo faces daunting challenges in starting a program - challenges in time and financial resources, utilities expertise, and a lack of resources for ongoing program operation. I founded California Clean Power to help cities just like San Luis Obispo overcome these challenges. The public - private partnership model we have created will be transformative for local governments, our State's energy market, and our shared environment. Working together, San Luis Obispo can move quickly to establish a sustainable and successful Community Choice program, and keep all of the control and benefits within your community. California Clean Power provides a no cost, full - service solution, making Community Choice easily available to every community in California in as little as 6 -8 months. We take on all of the market, financial and regulatory risk, while your city receives guaranteed benefits. The benefits for the City of San Luis Obispo are tremendous. Over the course of 10 years, we can fix your community's energy costs, while increasing the amount of renewable power delivered - as much as approximately 75% renewable - and generate a new stream of revenue - as much as approximately $33 million - to build the economic and environmental resilience of the City. We look forward to what we hope will be a long and successful partnership.
