Energy: Green Energy Purchasing

Santa Monica was the first city to contract for 100%
renewable energy during the period when “direct
access” was allowed by California’s restructuring of
the electric industry. And as a result, our rates
following the restructuring of the industry following the market
upheavals in 2000 and 2001 were lower than the rates
we would have been paying had we stayed with the local
provider for our energy generation! This may have
just been lucky, but for us it is vindication for
having done the “right thing.”

Unfortunately, direct access is no longer a choice
for residents or businesses. The State legislation on this
topic seems to be in constant flux, refer to the
California Energy Commission website for the latest.
