		ABAG was formed in 1961 by elected officials of the region’s cities and counties, and was the first council of governments in California.
		ABAG is similar in the use of power to the United Nations, in that it only has the power that the members give it, which can make for a tenuous relationship.
		ABAG would be pointed to by H. George Frederickson as proof that he is correct in his theory of the fragmented and disarticulated state.

		ABAG POWER's primary goal is to conduct pooled purchasing of natural gas and electricity on behalf of local governments and special districts who voluntarily join the Pool.

		ABAG is exploring the possibility of financing a multi-year purchase of natural gas for Pool members and will look for similar opportunities for electric purchases.

	ABAG power supplier to send its customers back to PG&E [Free Republic]
		ABAG's decision mirrors a move last month by Enron, the energy trading giant, which canceled a $300 million contract with the University of California and California State University systems so that it could sell the energy at a higher price.
		As I understand the article, ABAG is a co-op of 56 metropolitian area governments who buy 80% of their electricity from Calpine and the other 20% on the spot market, it does not generate its own.
		Since ABAG was only able to supply themselves with 80% of their needs with the $81 power they bought other 20% on the spot market, paying up to $500 MH, and they expect that to increase to $1,000 MH.

		Local connections among funders and with regional association staff tend to be particularly strong in these communities, with the potential for greater acceptance of joint grantmaking.
