For More Information on Electric Aggregation, please visit www.willelectricaggregation.org
Electric Aggregation is a program that allows local governments to bundle - or aggregate - residential and small commercial retail electric accounts and seek bids for a cheaper supply of power. Currently, ComEd customers receive electricity at a price set each year by the Illinois Power Agency, a governmental body that secures electricity on the wholesale market on behalf of ComEd. By bundling residential and small commercial accounts, municipalities can go out into the open market to seek a lower rate for electrical supply.
Residential and small commercial retail customers will have an opportunity to opt-out of any program before their supplier changes, any resident who does not opt-out will be included without requiring any action on their part.
DaCott Industries, Inc. has been hired by the Will County Governmental League (WCGL) to provided technical assistance to the communities in the WCGL's Electric Aggregation Program.
