§ 22-1. Purpose and intent.

It is the intent of the Town to establish a Community Choice Aggregation ("CCA") Program to aggregate the energy supply needs of residents and eligible small commercial customers, and to negotiate and enter into, or authorize its agent to negotiate and enter into, energy supply agreements ("ESAs") with energy service companies ("ESCOs") on behalf of eligible citizens to obtain stable, lower-cost energy prices, as well as environmental benefits and/or a community-based solution to meeting our collective energy needs. The purpose of this chapter is two-fold: to establish a CCA program in the Town and to adopt certain provisions relating to the creation and implementation of the CCA program.
