The City of Lake Forest is considering developing its own utilities program after bowing out of Orange County Joint Power Authority’s (OCPA) contentious community choice aggregation (CCA) energy plan.

Lake Forest city council voted 4–1 during its March 2 meeting to withdraw from the public utility agreement spearheaded by Irvine, and look into options to start its own utility provider.
