The City of San Diego's Environment Committee has voted to establish a joint-powers authority to establish an opt-out municipal aggregation (community choice aggregation) for electricity

The issue will go before the City Council on Tuesday

City Councilman Scott Sherman was the lone vote against the CCA at the committee level, citing concerns with its opt-out nature, Fox 5 San Diego reports

"I do want the competition, but so many times I’ve seen it in the business world (that) people never see the notice until when they get the final notice," Fox 5 quotes Sherman as saying. "So if they’re not paying attention to the fact that they switched, they may never know that it even happened and they had that opportunity in the first place."

The City of San Diego's CCA, if limited only to the city and not surrounding communities which may join, would encompass 600,000 residents, and at such level would be the state's third largest municipal aggregation
