Williamson County approves assignment to Homefield Energy, OKs Constellation gas supply
Summary
Commissioners approved an assignment of the countys electrical service agreement to Homefield Energy and approved a natural-gas supply agreement with Constellation. Officials said both agreements are standard, market‑priced contracts and require the countys signature or an assignee approval.
The Williamson County commissioners voted to approve two routine utility actions during their Jan. 27 meeting: an assignment of the countys electrical service agreement to Homefield Energy and approval of a natural-gas supply agreement with Constellation.
Commission leadership and staff described the agreements as standard customer/supplier contracts at market prices, with limited bargaining leverage. "They're pretty standard," one commissioner said during the discussion, adding that the county typically follows market pricing for electric and gas service.
Staff explained that one contract includes an administrative transfer to the countys public building commission as an assignee; the other is effectively a reassignment or continuation with the existing provider identified during discussion as CNEG/Constellation. Commissioners noted the electric price was being described in the meeting as approximately 8.1 cents per kilowatt-hour (spoken on the record), and that the contracts do not stipulate fixed prices but follow market pricing.
The motions were placed on the record and taken to roll call, with several named members indicating approval. The measures were presented as administrative actions to ensure continuity of county utility service; no additional conditions or amendments were recorded during the meeting.
The county will finalize contracts following the boards approval and proceed with signatures as required.
