At the regular board meeting of the San Joaquin Valley Power Authority held on June 25, 2009, Authority directors voted to temporarily suspend activities to implement Community Choice, an innovative energy program developed to benefit central San Joaquin Valley businesses and residents.

The San Joaquin Valley Power Authority (SJVPA) members have been working together over the past several years to establish a Community Choice program for the region. For valley residents and businesses within the boundaries of the member municipalities, this means they would have the chance to choose between remaining full customers of Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) or Southern California Edison (SCE) or enrolling in the Community Choice program and receiving electrical generation from the San Joaquin Valley Power Authority at proposed lower and more stable rates.
