California’s Joint Legislative Audit Committee has agreed to audit the Orange County Power Authority (OCPA), a recently formed energy provider embroiled in complaints about its operation.

State Sen. Tom Umberg (D-Santa Ana) announced Sept. 15 the upcoming audit as the agency deals with allegations of mismanagement, inaction, and a lack of transparency.
