5. Combined Savings (1st full year):
The Bottom Line
Using conservative numbers and assumptions, the Feasibility Study indicates a CCA being favorable.
Combined Savings (1st full year):
4.9% savings with a 33% renewable mix (compared to SCE’s current 28% renewable mix) CVAG = 4.4% WRCOG = 4.4% SBCOG = 4.6%
3.8% savings with a 50% renewable mix (11.2% lower than SCE’s 50% Green Rate)
5.7% higher with a 100% renewable mix (9.4% lower than SCE’s 100% Green Rate)
Savings takes into account generation savings with SCE distribution costs.

6. Projected annual economic impacts – both counties
$100 million rate savings annually
Job creation = ~ 547 jobs
Additional jobs could be added as local energy projects are built
~ $54.9+ million indirect economic impacts
Overall annual impacts = $155 million
