The city of East Peoria has enrolled with the Good Energy Central and Southern Illinois Buying Group to provide electricity supply cost savings for its residents and small commercial retail businesses.
Good Energy has so far enrolled more than 100,000 households in the central Illinois region. The resulting buying power will help secure the lowest rate possible.
Good Energy is an energy consultant. It will not send any electricity offers in the mail directly to residents. Good Energy will only be mailing residents as part of an education campaign to explain how the municipal aggregation process works.
Those who wish to participate in the municipal aggregation program should not sign up with an alternative supplier now. Any accounts already enrolled with an alternative supplier are unable to participate in the program.
Given current market conditions, electricity supply cost savings are forecast to be approximately $125 to $150 per household per year.
The timeline of the municipal aggregation process is as follows:
November 2011-March 20, 2012: Education of residents and small commercial retail businesses on the municipal aggregation program.
March 20, 2012: Referendum.
March-April 2012: Aggregation Plan of Operation and Governance published by the City of East Peoria. Two public hearings to be held. May 2012: The electric “load” of all residential and small commercial retail accounts is put out to competitive bid with Alternative Retail Electric Suppliers. Only then does the City of East Peoria make a decision about moving forward. Any executed electric contract will be with the winning supplier.
May-June 2012: The “Opt-Out Period” commences. All residents and small commercial retail accounts will receive a direct mailing from the winning supplier explaining the savings offer while also giving them an opportunity to “Opt-Out” of the program.
June-July 2012: All accounts that have not opted out are transitioned from Ameren to the winning supplier. Ameren sends out the first “consolidated” bill with the new supplier, which will also provide a second opportunity to “Opt-Out.”
All residents and small commercial accounts will continue to receive one bill. All delivery and transportation costs will continue to be paid to Ameren. Residents will receive exactly the same level of support from Ameren.
