Last year, all Irvine electricity ratepayers were transferred from Southern California Edison (SCE) and automatically enrolled in the new Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) 100% renewable electricity plan at a significantly higher monthly rate than SCE charges its customers for the same 100% renewable electricity.

Since the forced enrollment last October, 30% of Irvine households have opted-out of OCPA. (The highest opt-out rate in the state!)

Even with the high opt-out rate, thousands and thousands of Irvine ratepayers don't even know they have been forced into the more expensive OCPA plan. OCPA uses SCE to send out electricity bills so, unless you really study your bill, nothing appears to have changed ... except the amount you are now paying for electricity.
