Lindenhurst approves 14‑month municipal electric aggregation with MC2, including 25% renewables
Summary
The village board approved a 14‑month municipal electric aggregation agreement with MC2 that includes 25% renewable energy, implementing an opt‑out program intended to seek supply rates below ComEd for residential and small commercial accounts.
The Lindenhurst Village Board voted Feb. 27 to execute a municipal electric aggregation power supply agreement with MC2 for a 14‑month term that includes 25% of electricity from renewable sources.
Trustee Dawn Suchy moved to execute the agreement; Trustee Pat Dunham seconded. The motion passed on a roll call vote with five trustees voting aye and none opposed.
Meeting materials explained that municipal aggregation allows a city or village to pool residential and small commercial accounts and solicit the lowest cost electric supply from an alternative retail supplier. The village's program is an opt‑out model, meaning residents are included by default but may decline and remain on ComEd or select another supplier.
The agreement with MC2 was described in the meeting packet as based on the most current rates and including a 25% renewable energy content. The board indicated consensus to move forward after discussion; no public comments were recorded on the item.
The board recorded the approval without amendment. Staff did not present a specific projected dollar savings in the meeting minutes, and the minutes do not show individual customer enrollment data; residents retain the option to opt out.
