AN ACT CONCERNING COMMUNITY CHOICE AGGREGATION.

HB 5945 would allow residential and commercial electricity customers in the same municipality to form collective purchasing groups, called community choice aggregation entities. These groups would negotiate electricity contracts to increase renewable energy use and lower costs for participants. Individual customers would retain the right to opt out and remain with their current utility provider. The bill amends state law to enable this model, focusing on local control over energy sourcing without mandating participation.
