Delhi awards energy-aggregation contract to Dynergy at 10.39¢/kWh; administrator fields resident confusion about mailers
Summary
Administrator Miller told trustees the township’s electric-aggregation contract goes to Dynergy at 10.39¢/kWh (17 months starting in June) and answered resident complaints about mailers and opt-out questions, reiterating the program is voter-approved and that the township does not profit from the aggregation.
At the April 29 meeting Administrator Miller announced that the township’s new electric-aggregation supplier will be Dynergy at a rate of 10.39¢ per kilowatt-hour under a 17-month contract beginning in June.
Miller said the change represents a small increase from the current program rate (10.08¢) but that the aggregation program continues to hold line against market prices. He emphasized the program is a voter-approved, opt-out aggregation the township manages for residents and that the township does not receive profit from the arrangement: "Township doesn't make a dime," Miller told trustees. Miller also said Energy Alliances serves as the township’s energy broker/consultant and that residents can opt out with no penalty under the township program.
Trustees and Miller addressed resident confusion after mailers and door-to-door solicitations by other suppliers; Miller warned that some private offers (example cited: IGS's marketing) may include termination or early-exit fees charged by that vendor. He urged residents to consult the township energy-aggregation web page and contact the township at (513) 922-3111 for help opting out or for questions.
Miller said the township chose a 17-month term rather than a longer 24-month agreement because longer terms raised costs; the township will continue to monitor the market and advise residents about options.
Next steps: the new Dynergy rate takes effect in June, and staff offered direct assistance for residents who receive confusing mailings or have questions about enrolling or opting out.
