OCPA: New Management. Same Old False Claims.
The Orange County Power Authority (OCPA) is telling member cities, ratepayers and anyone else who will listen that it has cleaned up its act since removing former CEO Brian Probolsky, and is now giving the public the straight story and bringing down electricity rates. Really?
Even under new management, OCPA continues to peddle two false claims as part of its high-priced PR campaign:
False Claim #1. OCPA is delivering 95.6% “green” energy to its ratepayers.
False Claim #2. OCPA’s rate is 2% less than Southern California Edison (SCE).
OCPA doesn’t deliver energy. OCPA simply acts as a middleman that contracts with “green” energy producers — those that do not burn fossil fuels to generate their power — to pay for electricity that is put into the state’s electrical grid. (Most of OCPA’s green portfolio is solar, nuclear, and wind-generated power.) The grid distributes a mix of power from all suppliers, which is about 54.2% renewable, according to the California Energy Commission.
