Municipal Aggregation Updates
The City passed the necessary resolution to place the issue of Opt-Out Governmental Aggregation of Electricity on the March 20, 2012 ballot. The ballot subsequently passed.
The City’s Aggregation Program seeks to aggregate the retail electric loads of eligible customers located within the City to negotiate the best rates for the generation supply of electric power. Any individual customer has the opportunity to decline to be a Member of the Program and return to the local utility (ComEd) standard offer of service or to enter into a power supply contract with any Alternative Retail Electric Supplier.
The City will follow the Plan of Operation and Governance adopted after two public hearings were held in accordance with 20 ILCS 3855/1-92. As required by the Act, this Plan of Operation and Governance describes:
1. How the Aggregation Program will provide for universal access to all applicable residential customers and equitable treatment of applicable residential customers;
2. How demand management and energy efficiency services will be provided to each class of customers; and
3. How the Aggregation will meet any other legal requirements concerning aggregated electric service.
