The governing board that will oversee the first operating year of a renewable energy-focused public power agency in Sonoma County took shape last Thursday, as the agency’s joint powers authority grew to include the cities that recently voted to allow the agency to offer power to its residents and businesses.
Representatives for the cities of Santa Rosa, Sonoma, Sebastopol and Cotati joined what is now an eight-member board for Sonoma Clean Power. Along with Windsor and the county’s unincorporated areas, those areas account for more than 75 percent of ratepayers in Sonoma County.
