Clean Power Alliance Secures $40M in Renewable Energy PPAs for Disadvantaged Communities
Event summary
- Clean Power Alliance (CPA) secured four new power purchase agreements (PPAs) under its Power Share program, approved by the CPUC on February 5, 2026.
- The PPAs total 14.45 MW of renewable energy capacity, with projects set to come online in 2027 and 2028.
- Two projects incorporate agrivoltaics, integrating solar generation with active agriculture in disadvantaged communities.
- The deals complete CPA’s remaining procurement capacity under California’s Disadvantaged Communities Green Tariff (DAC-GT) program.
The big picture
This expansion solidifies CPA’s position as California’s largest community choice energy aggregator while addressing equity in clean energy access. The deals reflect growing state-level emphasis on localized renewable development and bill relief for low-income households. With $40M in PPAs secured, CPA now controls 100% of its Power Share capacity through long-term contracts.
