Following the Orange County Board of Supervisors’ Dec. 20 vote to withdraw the county’s unincorporated areas from the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA)—a local energy provider embroiled in controversy and accused of lacking transparency—the county now seeks a new agency to replace it.

With the county’s departure, representing unincorporated areas, the power authority now only serves residents and businesses in the cities of Huntington Beach, Buena Park, Irvine, and Fullerton.
