CLEARCREEK TOWNSHIP WARREN COUNTY, OH -- Most Clearcreek Township residents have received or will receive the renewal letter in the next couple of days regarding the Electric Aggregation program, so we wanted to make sure everyone understands what is happening.
On November 3, 2015, 53.98% of voters approved a ballot measure authorizing the Board of Trustees to form an opt-out electric aggregation program. “Opt-out” aggregation is a program that automatically enrolls all local residents, unless they individually opt-out of the program and choose not to be included.
Currently, Clearcreek Township residents who are enrolled in the program are paying $0.0686/kWh through the May 2025 meter read with Duke or $0.08499 in the AES territory. Duke Energy’s residential “Price to Compare” for the generation supply portion of your bill for the period of November 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025 is $0.0818/kWh and AES’s is $0.0858/kWh to May 31, 2025. The rates per kWh on our aggregation offerings have consistently been lower than default retail rates since the program wasintroduced and voted on by residents in 2015.
The intent of the program remains the same today: to use the buying/usage power of over nearly 6,000 households to get the best energy rates possible for our residents. Unfortunately, the price of energy is going up and it’s projected to increase significantly.
In an effort to try and minimize the impact to as many of our residents as possible, the Township once again engaged Energy Alliances to lock in the best possible pricing and chose Dynegy as the electricity provider. Dynegy’s pricing compared to other suppliers has historically been competitive and their service has been excellent.
The Township’s contracted rate starting in May 2025 and running until May of 2026 will be $0.0945/kWh in our Duke territory and $0.0944 in our AES territory. Both AES and Duke Energy rates will also reset at the end of May (AES) and March (Duke), and it is estimated that their rate will be over $0.10/kWh.
Given these higher rates, the Township chose to enter into a one-year contract in the hope that energy prices will drop and better rates can be obtained later this year or early next. Please note that residents in the aggregation program can opt out of the program at any time, and there is no fee to do so.
It should also be noted that Clearcreek Township government does not receive any revenue share or any type of fee(s) as part of this program.
