Aggregated Gas and Electric: Genoa Township established a contract to leverage the group buying power of its residents and businesses to provide lower gas and electric rates after voter approval for the opt-out program in 2015. This process is called “aggregation.”
By default, eligible households are automatically enrolled in the aggregation program, but may opt-out at any time to use another provider of their choice.
The current fixed rate for community aggregated electric is $ .0474 per kWh and .769 per ccf for gas. Electric rates will increase to $.0849 per kwh in June 2023 due to industry-wide rising fuel costs to generate electricity. Even so, Genoa Township's aggregation pricing is expected to be less than American Electric Power's rate of $.11 per kwh during the same time period.
For electric aggregation only, the Public Utilities Commission (PUCO) offers a 'do not aggregate' service for those who wish to forego receiving aggregation mailings in the future.
