LEAN Energy US' 2025 Survey

As the national hub for Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) information, advocacy, and networking, LEAN Energy US has supported a growing movement of local energy leadership for over a decade.

We’re inviting your feedback to better understand the value LEAN provides, identify unmet needs in the national CCA ecosystem, and gather ideas to evolve our services and strategies. Your input will directly shape LEAN’s priorities and offerings across the country.

This survey will take approximately 5–10 minutes and will be available until May 2, 2025. Responses will remain confidential and data will be aggregated.
