UTILITY AGGREGATION

GAS

Richfield Township residents can take advantage of Summit County’s natural gas aggregation program which was developed to help residents and small businesses save money on their natural gas bills. Direct Energy Services has been selected to provide natural gas to the aggregation group through the January 2012 billing cycle.

	Current customers will receive a negotiated price of $9.99 per MCF beginning with the March 2009 billing cycle
	Senior citizens currently participating will receive a $0.15 per MCF discount for the first year only and $0.10 per MCF for remainder of the term
	Opt-out mailing campaigns will be conducted annually. These mailings will be sent to all eligible residents including those currently participating in the program
	Participants may leave the program during the term without any termination fees by Direct Energy
	For additional information, please contact Direct Energy at 1-866-760-6040

ELECTRICITY

Summit County residents have saved more than $2.5 million on their electric bills as a result of the Electric Aggregation Program with First Energy Solutions that began in October 2002. Due to wholesale market prices, First Energy is unable to offer residents an electric generation supply price lower than the default service price proposed by Ohio Edison and the aggregation program has been suspended. Residents on the aggregation program have been moved back to Ohio Edison who will provide a below market price – no action is necessary from residents at this time. The County will continue to investigate options for electric supply and may enter into an agreement if an offer exists that provides a lower cost supply alternative.
