Makanda board opts to continue in Southern Illinois energy aggregation
Summary
The board voted to remain in the Southern Illinois Aggregation Partnership; Homefield Energy proposed locking a base price through December 2028 and limiting opt-out mailers. Current all-in rate cited as $0.11789/kWh (base $0.09530/kWh).
The Village of Makanda Board of Trustees discussed an update from the Southern Illinois Aggregation Partnership and decided to continue its participation in the residential opt-out aggregation program.
President Tina Shingleton relayed details from an email about proposed changes by Homefield Energy that would set a base price for the remainder of current contracts through December 2028 and reduce the number of opt-out mailings. The record states the village's existing contract term runs December 2023 through December 2028 and that the current all-in price is $0.11789/kWh with a base rate of $0.09530/kWh. The board was told Homefield will "set the base price now for the remainder of the contracts through December 2028" and will limit mailings so previously opted-out accounts will not be sent opt-out letters again.
Board discussion ended with the decision to continue with the aggregation contract. Meeting minutes note a short window for any community wishing to terminate: they must email Jordan Haarmann by 3 p.m. on April 17 if they do not wish to continue the aggregation.
