NOPEC presents electricity aggregation; opt-out window set for March–April 2026

Board of Trustees of Austintown Township · December 1, 2025

Summary

NOPEC told Austintown trustees it seeks to aggregate retail electricity for township customers, citing participation by "over 249 communities," and identified an opt-out period from March 19 to April 8, 2026 and a supply start date of April 24, 2026.

Ross McDonald of the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) spoke to the board about a proposed electricity aggregation program that would apply automatically to eligible township customers unless they opt out. McDonald told trustees that "over 249 communities have come together choosing NOPEC to help get a better rate," noted the availability of energy-efficiency grants and said NOPEC operates a 24/7 U.S.-based call center.

Legal notices published in The Tribune Chronicle and The Vindicator, included in the meeting packet, state that the program would operate under Ohio Revised Code §4928.20 and that customers may opt out during a designated opt-out period. The notices and McDonald's presentation specify an opt-out window running March 19, 2026 through April 8, 2026, with the supply period starting April 24, 2026. Trustees did not take a final vote on aggregation at the meeting; the presentation and published notice provide the public opt-out timeline and contact information.
