Oscoda County board authorizes switch from Volunteer Energy to DTE for natural gas service
Summary
The board authorized the County Administrator to terminate the Volunteer Energy supply contract and transition to DTE Energy's regulated gas service, effective immediately after required notice; the motion passed on a 4-0 roll-call vote.
At the March 10 meeting, County Administrator/HR Director Michelle Knepp recommended terminating Oscoda County's natural gas supply contract with Volunteer Energy and transitioning the county's account to DTE Energy for regulated gas supply service.
Commissioner Tom McCauley moved and Commissioner Ted Handrich seconded a motion authorizing Knepp to provide the required 30-day written notice to Volunteer Energy and to transition service to DTE. The roll-call vote—McCauley, Varner, Breaugh, Handrich—was recorded as yes by all four present commissioners and the motion carried 4-0.
The authorization directs the county administrator to take the administrative steps necessary to effect the supplier change; the board did not discuss specific projected savings or contract terms at the meeting.
