Green Sanctuary Community Calendar

Evanston faces an important ballot referendum on March 20. Residents will decide whether to join twenty two other communities across the state in aggregating their electric power purchasing for greater value. Consumer Choice Aggregation (CGA) would drive down the cost of electricity, including renewables like wind and solar, by leveraging the power of twenty thousand plus consumers to drive down the cost per kWh. I’ve attached a fact sheet for your review. Please consider visiting the city’s website when you have the chance -
