(Urbana, Illinois) December 5, 2022 – Municipal Electric Aggregation participants in several Central Illinois communities participating in their respective municipal electric aggregation program recently received a letter from Ameren that caused some confusion about their electricity supplier expectations.
Customers should know that anyone currently participating in the aggregation programs for Champaign County, City of Urbana, and Village of Mahomet which expire in December do not need to do anything in order to continue to receive the benefits of municipal aggregation including reliable, stable, and cost-effective rates.
Municipal Electric Aggregation customers in Central Illinois have received confusing communications suggesting that they must soon make a choice to change their electric supplier.
This is not accurate. These municipalities have already competitively selected an electric supplier, Energy Harbor, starting in February 2023. An Opt-out letter for the new program will be sent out in the next few weeks.
