Community Choice Aggregation (CCA): Our New Electricity Program

Lower, fixed price electricity is coming this summer!

Learn more about it: May 8th 6-7pm & 7-8pm in the Noble Room of the Village Municipal Building

The Village of Newark Valley is offering our residents and small businesses a new electricity supply option through a program called Community Choice Aggregation (CCA). The Municipal Electric and Gas Alliance (MEGA) brought together 21 municipalities in our region to join in bulk purchasing of electricity through the CCA Program. CCA Programs focus on providing electric supply choices while continuing to rely on the delivery service and physical infrastructure of the local electric utility (NYSEG). Only residents and small businesses who currently receive their electric supply from NYSEG are automatically eligible to participate.

As a Participant in MEGA’s CCA You May:
 Save money on your electric bill
 Avoid sudden spikes in the price of your electricity
 Have access to 100% renewable ‘green’ electricity
 Stop energy telemarketers and door-to-door sales

The CCA will offer our residents and small business a fully fixed price of $0.05092/kWh for 24 months, starting in July 2019. The CCA price is lower than NYSEG’s average supply price for the previous year.

CCA Programs Provide Choices:
Opt-Up: if you want 100% renewable electricity at a fully fixed price of $0.05692/kWh for 24 months
Opt-In: if you have another supplier and wish to switch to the CCA Opt-Out: if you wish not to participate and to keep NYSEG as your electric supplier

Other Important Reminders
 Participants are also able to leave the Program at any time during the 24 months without a penalty
 The CCA Program is compatible with budget billing, community solar and rooftop solar
 Customers with day/night or time-of-use rates will not be automatically included in the Program
