Providing more stable long-term electric rates that are competitive with those <br />provided by the incumbent utility; <br />d. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions arising from electricity use within San <br />Mateo County; <br />e. Increasing local renewable generation capacity; <br />f. Increasing energy conservation and efficiency projects and programs; <br />g. Increasing regional energy self-sufficiency; and <br />h. Improving the local economy resulting from the implementation of local <br />renewable and energy conservation and efficiency projects; and <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the City wishes to be a community choice aggregator and has <br />introduced the Ordinance required by Public Utilities Code Section 366.2 in order to do <br />so; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the County of San Mateo and multiple cities have already become <br />community choice aggregators and other cities and towns within San Mateo County may <br />also wish to be community choice aggregators; and <br /> <br />9.B. - Page 25
