From GoodEnergy.com: Municipal Aggregation Update: Urbana, IL Residents to Save 36 Percent on Electric Supply Costs
The Committee for Municipal Electricity Choice | Posted on Saturday, June 16, 2012 at 01:49PM Urbana's two-year contract with Homefield Energy begins in August, and residents of the Illinois city will immediately begin seeing a change in their electric bills. The deal, brokered by Good Energy and signed in early May 2012, will lower the cost of the electricity supply portion of residents' bills by an average of 36 percent. Distribution and delivery of the power, which will still be handled by the same service provider as in the past, will cost the same, and residents will continue to report any service issues or outages to Ameren exactly as they always have. As the program becomes more widespread and residents see for themselves that only the cost of their energy supply is different, and that nothing else changes by virtue of the new contract, Good Energy and Homefield Energy intend to assist those residents who initially opted out of the energy deal, to sign up.
