Village to send out letters to residents regarding electrical aggregation process, savings By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The village will be sending out letters to residents with information on the upcoming switch of its electrical supplier, which is expected to save residents money on their electric bill. In March, voters approved a referendum to allow communities to create the largest aggregate group in Illinois to purchase electricity at a cheaper rate. Various steps had to be completed before a decision on which electrical provider would be chosen. FirstEnergy Solutions has been chosen as the supplier with a 42 percent savings over ComEd’s summer rates. These rates have been locked in and are

fixed until October 2014. Residents can expect to see savings after the switch, about 30 to 45 days after their meter-read date. A confirmation letter from ComEd will be sent to each resident. Customers will still receive the same bill from ComEd, though the electrical supply portion will show FirstEnergy Solution’s lower rate. Residents who wish to participate do not need to do anything. There are no enrollment or switching fees. However, residents have an opportunity to opt out of the program, if they chose, by filling out and returning a form. Letters are being mailed to residents this week to explain the process. katauskas@buglenewspapers.com
