electric bill

The Ecology Action Center in Normal urges Bloomington-Normal residents to stay in the municipal electric aggregation program even with hefty rate increases coming this summer.

There’s a lot of questioning and online pushback happening in Bloomington-Normal right now concerning the arcane subject of municipal electricity aggregation.

The Ecology Action Center is urging Bloomington-Normal residents to look carefully at the data before making a choice on whether to opt out of the city and town negotiated electricity rate for the next three years.

The City of Bloomington and Town of Normal have picked a new electricity supplier to serve residents for the next three years (July 2022-June 2025). So-called "aggregator" Constellation NewEnergy replaces Homefield Energy as the new low bidder for bundled power rates.
