Municipal Aggregation

Municipal Aggregation allows local government to combine the purchasing power of its residents so that it can provide them with an alternative electricity supply. Municipal Aggregation is a valuable service that residents and small businesses look for from their local governments. It has proven to be the most effective way to help small consumers manage their electricity bills, and has received overwhelming support wherever it’s implemented.

Choice and Control

Consumers have virtually no choice when buying electricity. Local government can bring choice and stability to its community through Municipal Aggregation. Once in an aggregation program consumers are no longer “stuck” with Basic Service Rates. Local government can set its own energy related goals such as long-term rates or green options.
