Counties across Illinois are eagerly instituting municipal aggregation plans in the hopes of lowering energy costs for consumers and Good Energy is helping lead the way. The Pittsfield City Council has just picked Good Energy over Simec Energy to guide the city through energy supply negotiations. The consulting company, which is based in New York, will receive a fee for their work only if the county successfully negotiates a bid with a new energy supply company. And even then, the fee will be paid for by the energy company, not by the city.
