The Clean Energy Alliance, the community energy program based in North County, is looking for a new chief executive officer. By the time the expansion is complete, the Clean Energy Alliance will be the 10th largest community energy program in California. With that growth, Boswell said the alliance needs a CEO based in the San Diego region. Known as CEA for short, the Clean Energy Alliance began serving 60,000 customer accounts in Carlsbad, Del Mar and Solana Beach in May 2021. The firm also recruited the CEO for San Diego Community Power, the community choice energy program that encompasses San Diego, Chula Vista, Encinitas, La Mesa, Imperial Beach and on April 1 added National City and unincorporated areas of San Diego County.
