Following an extensive review and community engagement process earlier this year to explore the merits of offering the community a new electric aggregation program, City Council unanimously approved moving forward with this initiative in September.

Since that time, the City has joined the Sustainable Ohio Public Energy Council (SOPEC), an entity that serves approximately 30 communities across Ohio, with a collective buying power representative of one of the largest customers in the State. SOPEC and the City have reviewed market rates and terms from AEP Energy bids and locked in pricing starting in January of 2024 through June of 2025.

The three options for eligible households and businesses are:

• Default 100% Renewable Energy at 7.203 cents per kWh.
• Brown Energy step down priced at 6.903 cents per kWh.
• Opt out of the program altogether.

On November 21, 2023, households and businesses that are eligible to participate in the program were mailed a joint notice from SOPEC and the City, detailing the terms of the program. If they do not wish to participate, these prospective customers will have until December 12 (21 days) to opt out of the program.
