Lindenhurst board approves six-year renewal of residential electric aggregation with MC²
Summary
On May 11, 2026, the Village of Lindenhurst Board adopted Ordinance 26-5-2339 to renew its residential electric aggregation program with MC² for six years, retaining a Price Match Guarantee and an annual civic contribution; residents may opt out at any time and the village can terminate after an initial two-year period.
On May 11, 2026, the Village of Lindenhurst Board voted to adopt Ordinance 26-5-2339, renewing the village's residential electric aggregation with MC Squared Energy Services (MC²) for a six-year term.
Adam Hoover of the Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Collaborative (NIMEC) presented the recommendation and said the proposal would continue the program's "Price Match Guarantee," which NIMEC described as ensuring "residents do not pay more than the default rate." Hoover also said the program would continue to provide an annual civic contribution to the village and that residents could opt out of aggregation at any time without penalty.
Hoover explained the rationale for a six-year renewal: it aligns the program with the ComEd default rate over a longer period, secures the annual civic contribution and reduces the frequency of mailings to households. He told the board the village may terminate the contract after an initial two-year cycle if local leaders decide to end participation.
Trustee Pat Dunham moved to adopt the ordinance; Trustee Ron Grace seconded. The measure passed by roll call vote: Aye — Trustees Pat Dickson, Pat Dunham, Dawn Suchy and Ron Grace; Nay — 0. Trustee Heath Rosten had stepped out during the presentation and was not listed among the votes recorded.
The ordinance preserves the existing structure of residents continuing to receive traditional ComEd bills while participating in the aggregation program through MC². Village officials characterized the change as administrative and programmatic rather than a guaranteed cost savings: NIMEC told the board there is "no direct cost savings with the six-year versus the one or two-year renewal," though the longer term would yield administrative savings.
Next steps: with the ordinance adopted, the village will execute the renewal with MC² and notify residents as required; residents who do not wish to remain in the aggregation program can opt out according to the program terms.
