Electric Aggregation Rates Start in August

New, lower rates as part of Huntley’s Electric Aggregation Program will be reflected in next month’s electric bills, the Northwest Herald reports.

Voters passed a referendum in March authorizing new program. Electric aggregation involved governments bundling residential and small retail electric account together to buy electricity at a group rate.

Huntley joined the Northern Illinois Governmental Electrical Aggregation Consortium, which negotiates with electric suppliers. Direct Energy was chosen and residents had the option to opt-out of the program earlier this year.
