In an interview on Newstalk 1340 WSOY, Charles de Casteja, Managing Partner of Good Energy, discussed the municipal energy aggregation program with Brian Byers on the Byers & Co radio talk show. He explained what the measure intends to do as well as the benefits that voters should be aware of. When voting, residents who approve of the program should vote YES!, and are advised to listen to the interview to familiarize themselves with the question they will be seeing on the Nov. 6 ballot to avoid any misunderstanding.
Charles listed the benefits of the program, pointing out that communities will receive more buying power and improved contract terms in the residents' interest. After the bid, Mr. de Casteja stated "every resident will receive an opt-out letter from the selected winning supplier". Ameren will then issue another opt-out letter, after which you will be enrolled in the program for the remainder of the city's contract. Residents still have the option to exit the program at any time at a small fee.
