Council approves 12‑month Archer Energy gas agreement and authorizes electric aggregation negotiations
Summary
Council approved a 12‑month customer supply agreement with Archer Energy to provide natural gas beginning June 2026 and authorized negotiations for electric aggregation under the NOAC program; staff said terms are designed to secure the best rate for customers.
Council approved Ordinance 34‑2026 authorizing the mayor and finance director to enter a customer supply agreement with Archer Energy for natural gas service to residential and small commercial customers beginning in June 2026; the term cited by staff is 12 months and the choice was driven by market volatility. Administration also moved to negotiate electric aggregation proposals under the NOAC program and approved Ordinance 35‑2026 to authorize the mayor and finance director to execute an electric energy supply agreement when negotiations conclude.
Miss Browning said staff will negotiate with competing suppliers and that Toledo’s negotiator handles the NOAC purchasing program to leverage scale; she said once terms are finalized the administration will notify council and residents. Council approved both ordinances as emergency measures by voice vote.
Why it matters: supplier agreements affect local utility bills for residential and small commercial customers; the 12‑month gas term reflects market conditions and electric aggregation may yield better rates through collective purchasing.
