Electric Aggregation

 

 

 

The Hanover Township Board of Trustees voted to place electric aggregation on the November 8, 2016 election. Hanover Township voters approved the measure which allowed Hanover Township to become an electric aggregator as licensed through the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Hanover Township was approved to provide electrical services aggregation to qualified residents as authorized by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio through Certificate #17-1132E (1).

Electric aggregation is the process by which the Township would negotiate a bulk price on the electric commodity for its residents who purchase their electric from Duke Energy. Individual consumers would then decide if they wanted to opt-out of the Township negotiated price and continue to provide for their own electric supply. Duke Energy would continue to carry, service, and bill for the electric supply.

Residents of Hanover Township who purchase their electric from Butler Rural Electric Cooperative already enjoy a similar group-purchasing benefit and are not to be affected.

This program is under the direction of PUCO and is provided by the Township. The Township does not receive any fee or compensation for this service. Resident participation is completely voluntary. Residents will be given the choice to opt-out of the program if they do not wish to participate. The current electrical supply is provided by Constellation for a 13-month period. The current price for energy is 8.411 cents per KWH.

Energy Alliance serves as a consultant to the Township (at no cost to the Township) and any questions can be answered by calling 513-794-5555.
