Transforming energy to physically reduce carbon pollution isn't just about adding green power somewhere far away on the grid, but installing it in homes and businesses to subtract demand for grid and pipeline resources from the bottom-up. These graphs show Local Power's modeled transformation of the 365 day pattern of demand for a large urban community.  8760 hours of annual demand define the shape of your community's aggregate energy costs and carbon emissions, with each daily pattern showing red peaks that represent the most polluting, costliest grid energy. No taxes, no rate increases. Choosing renewable resources to match demand patterns is the art of climate mobilization: the lowest-cost, most scalable transition to a new green energy system through CCA 3.0. 

This is Local Power's modeled transformation for that city. To recognize the importance of this for climate mobilization, you need to understand how limited conventional utilities are in changing their systems without raising rates.  CCAs are uniquely positioned in the marketplace as energy buyers (vs. sellers), planners and service providers to their communities, having an unprecedentedly free hand to redesign their energy supply portfolios. As municipalities, CCAs also have a unique ability  to engage residents and businesses in voluntary investment. Systemic decarbonization involves wide deployment of behind-meter renewables, energy efficiency, microgrids and electric vehicle chargers, at the point of use, to avoid peak power cost and grid premiums. Instead of taxes or rate increases, this climate mobilization brings customer ownership. CCA 3.0 means not only the lowest costs and greatest carbon impact, but tangible local economic benefits: local wealth retention, local jobs, and local economic development.
