Council hears gas‑aggregation performance report; suspension motion fails and aggregation authorization does not advance
Summary
A presenter showed a performance report indicating participants saved about 6.2% overall and about $37.41 over six months; a council motion to suspend the rules failed, so the natural‑gas aggregation agreement did not proceed and residents would revert to utility rates without further action by Aug. 10.
Councilmembers heard a presentation on Resolution 2025‑R‑76, which would authorize the village manager or mayor to enter a natural‑gas aggregation agreement with a supplier recommended by Energy Alliances Inc.
A presenter distributed performance data from Duke and PUCO showing the program’s first two quarters produced average aggregate performance of about 6.2% and that participating residents saved an average of $37.41 over the six‑month period. The presenter explained that volatility in the Duke Gas Cost Recovery (GCR) component accounts for major month‑to‑month swings and that the aggregation program aims to stabilize prices.
Council considered a motion to suspend rules and advance the resolution, but the motion did not receive enough votes. The presenter warned that, without council authorization by Aug. 10, participating accounts would revert to the utility’s published rates. Council requested further information and indicated staff would follow up if members wish to act before the opt‑out deadline.
