The Clean Power Alliance (CPA), one of California’s largest Community Choice electricity aggregators and green energy suppliers, is partnering with climate technology company Haven Energy to create a virtual power plant and advance access to clean and reliable energy for low-income and vulnerable communities.
As part of the agreement, Haven Energy will provide solar and storage systems at zero-cost to 300 qualifying customers across Clean Power Alliance’s service area, which includes Los Angeles and Ventura counties.
Haven will also network the systems together, creating the Clean Power Alliance’s first virtual power plant (VPP). The VPP is expected to provide 4.8 MWh of dispatchable power, delivering over $380,000 in resource adequacy costs savings in its first three years.
“This partnership demonstrates a viable pathway to achieve energy equity and electrification at scale, creating a more resilient and sustainable future for all,» said Vinnie Campo, founder and CEO of Haven Energy.
California and a handful of other states, including Illinois, Maryland, Ohio and Virginia, have authorized community choice aggregation (CCA) programs, like the one offered by Clean Power Alliance.
