Council hears RFI results on electric and gas aggregation; NOPEC provided potential rates
Summary
Staff reported the RFI received two responses (NOPEC and SOPEC). NOPEC supplied potential electricity rates and multiple term options; SOPEC did not provide rates. Preliminary modeling showed modest gas savings for residents and council asked staff to invite both consultants for interviews and clarify contract terms and opt-out procedures.
Miss Lofton briefed the council on results of an RFI for electric and gas aggregation. She said two respondents replied: NOPEC and SOPEC. According to the staff summary, NOPEC provided potential rate information and options (standard, 12-month and 24-month terms) while SOPEC did not include rates in its response.
Using average residential usage from recent months, staff reported projected gas savings of a few dollars per month for typical residents; electricity savings depended on the customer’s utility — AEP customers showed potential savings while Ohio Edison customers might not. Lofton emphasized this preliminary modeling was illustrative and recommended inviting both consultants to a follow-up interview to answer specific questions about contract length, opt-out mechanics, and the village’s expected customer-service role.
Council members noted the program is opt-out and flagged the importance of clear community communication if the village pursues aggregation. Staff agreed to compile written questions for the consultants and to present findings and contract terms at a later meeting.
