If residents of a city believe that strengthening local control, promoting the local economy, and investing in renewable energy are important, what can they do to make these things happen? One city in Ohio, already having a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) system in place, recently passed a carbon fee ballot initiative that will add 0.2 cents per kilowatt hour to electricity costs for CCA members. In the latest episode of Local Energy Rules, Director of the Energy Democracy Initiative John Farrell speaks with UpGrade Ohio’s information and outreach director Mathew Roberts. As part of the group that designed the carbon fee initiative, Roberts was eager to talk about this and other community-led energy initiatives in Athens.
