Monroe Community Power Program - Updated Timeline

TOWN OF HENRIETTA
Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) Program - Updated Timeline

Date Posted: December 19, 2022

The Town of Henrietta is planning to join the Monroe Community Power energy program in an upcoming bid to consider an electricity supply contract. This community choice aggregation (CCA) program would enable the Town of Henrietta to provide eligible residents and small businesses with the benefits of renewable electricity supply. 

Formed in partnership with Joule Community Power, a division of Joule Assets, Inc., Monroe Community Power is a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program that enables participating communities to pool local electricity demand in order to leverage the collective buying power of their residents and small businesses in an effort to secure more favorable terms on their energy supply, protect consumers, and support renewable generation sources.

Timeline Update

More municipalities are joining the upcoming bid. In spring 2023, the Town will be presented with prices and the option to select between a fixed-rate or a variable-rate offer. Market conditions, including price volatility and the need to maximize the availability of renewable electricity supply may lead to the variable-rate offer providing the best value to residents and small businesses.

If the Town selects a supplier and offering, all eligible residents and small businesses will be notified by letter in spring/summer 2023 of the details, their choices and how to opt-out. Participants can opt-out or opt back into the program at any time with no penalty by phone or online form. By participating in the program, residents and small businesses can access competitively priced electricity supply with no individual contract.

Public information sessions will be scheduled over the next two months.  These sessions will provide general information, explain the benefits of participation by our residents and small businesses, and answer your questions.

The next scheduled meeting is Monday, February 6, 2023 at 6:00 pm on Zoom - Link: www.bit.ly/henriettafeb6

Additional information sessions will occur in 2023 if the Town signs a contract for CCA electricity supply. Information on upcoming information sessions can be found here:
