Community Choice Aggregation: Current Program Ending December 2024
The Town has used our collective purchasing power to offer renewable electricity supply as the default for eligible NYSEG customers through our Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program through Finger Lakes Community Choice. At the end of December 2024, our current contract with electricity supplier Direct Energy ends after 18 months, as expected.
At the end of the CCA contract, participating residents will be automatically returned to NYSEG for their electricity supply. All impacted residents and small businesses will receive a notice from NYSEG of the exact date their supply service will switch over to NYSEG for their account(s) and a separate notice from Direct Energy as well.
In advance of the current CCA contract ending, the Town tried to secure new pricing to continue the renewable electricity supply program. The market conditions were not favorable for a new renewable electricity contract. The Town will continue to review bids in the coming months to see if changing market conditions allow us to relaunch a renewable electricity supply program with favorable rates in the new year.
If the Town is able to relaunch a renewable electricity supply program, eligible residents and small businesses will be notified by mail. As before, public education would precede the launch of any new contract.
