A health-forward home starts with a green-powered grid

The benefits of greening the electricity grid start at home and then expand far and wide, ultimately reducing fossil fuel consumption, cleaning our air and rejuvenating our planet. Here’s why sustainable energy from OCPA is energy on which we can all thrive:

Your planet

Did you know that electricity is the second largest source of global pollution? Most electricity is still generated by burning coal, oil, or gas, which produce carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide – powerful greenhouse gases that blanket the Earth and trap in the sun’s heat. OCPA procures energy from cleaner resources that naturally replenish, like wind and solar, and emit little to no greenhouse gases or pollutants.

Your family

Pollution affects everything from air quality to health. Pollution from tailpipes, refineries, and gas appliances can increase asthma cases and cause declines in brain health. Being a member of OCPA and choosing energy for your home or business is a simple way to make a difference by decreasing demand for fossil fuel energy.

Your choice

Community Choice Energy is all about choice! You get the choice of energy provider, and the choice of OCPA’s energy products. The best part is that OCPA is a not-for-profit, so we put our profits back into our communities. We work for you, not for shareholders. Not-for-profit and for purpose!

Your community

As a local energy provider, we listen to and develop clean energy solutions tailored to the diverse needs of the communities we serve. OCPA’s Board is made up of local representatives from our member cities who work closely with an advisory committee of residents from your neighborhoods.
