Lee County approves three-year electrical aggregation, board adopts amended 9.79 rate

Lee County Board · August 20, 2026

Summary

After discussion about market volatility and average usage, the board approved a three-year electrical aggregation contract for unincorporated residents, adopting an amended rate of 9.79; customers can opt out under state rules.

The board approved a three-year electrical aggregation plan for unincorporated Lee County customers after hearing a presentation from Mike Mudge of Rock River Energy Services and a discussion about market volatility. Members emphasized the value of locking a longer-term rate amid uncertain wholesale markets. Mr. Sheilang initially moved for a three-year deal; after a clarification Mr. Sheiline asked to amend the motion to a 9.79 rate (the board used the amended figure) and the amended motion carried.

Mudge explained how the program applies to residents in the unincorporated areas and confirmed customers may opt out. He noted the county’s average residential customer uses about "610 kilowatt" (as stated in the meeting) and that members were pleased to secure a rate below 10 cents. Board members and staff warned the public they will receive state-required notices and urged anyone with billing concerns to contact county staff for assistance.
