Ohio has the nation’s largest CCA, NOPEC, with nearly 500,000 customers. In November 2011, more than a decade after NOPEC’s inception, aggregation had a banner day at the ballot box. Since then, Cincinnati and 53 other cities have begun forming CCAs.
Although NOPEC and the majority of Ohio’s emerging CCAs are focused entirely on rates, Cincinnati’s new CCA is looking to decrease the percentage of coal powering the grid. Backers of the 2011 aggregation referenda emphasized cost savings and customer choice in their messaging, but they support any progress on cleaner power that now may be reflected in Cincinnati’s procurement process.
