County staff warns residents in aggregation program: ComEd is the default supplier while county reviews market
Summary
County staff reminded residents that when the county’s electrical aggregation agreement was not renewed amid volatile rates, ComEd became the default supplier and affected customers will receive notices; the aggregation is opt‑out and the county will monitor the market for possible re‑enrollment.
County staff reminded residents that customers who had been in the county’s electrical aggregation program are receiving notices that Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) is now the default supplier while the county monitors the market for a possible new aggregation agreement.
Jeremy, a county staff member, said the county chose not to renew the previous electrical aggregation agreement during a period of volatile energy rates; as a result, residents who had been in the program are receiving notices that ComEd is the default supplier. Jeremy said the county is continuing to monitor market conditions and will revisit the aggregation process in the near future.
Jeremy also clarified the program is opt‑out when an aggregation agreement is in place: eligible customers are automatically included and must return a form to opt out if they choose not to participate.
Discussion only: no action was taken; staff provided contact information for residents with questions.
Less critical details: staff asked residents not to be alarmed by the notices and offered to help customers who call with questions about their accounts.
