Informational Meeting – Community Choice Aggregation (CCA): Our New Electricity Program Option

May 2nd, 2019

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

What Happens Next?
1. Attend an Education Session
a. May 8th 6-7pm & 7-8pm at Village Hall
b. There are two sessions, one at 6 p.m. and one at 7 p.m, each starts with a presentation
c. Please come at any time and feel free to bring your bill

2. Expect to Receive a Letter Mid-May
a. Those who are automatically eligible to participate in the CCA Program will receive a letter

3. Participate in CCA
a. No need to take action if you want to participate in CCA
b. If you do not wish to participate in CCA, you can opt-out via mail, phone or online

More information can also be found in the FAQs and online at megacca.org. Questions can be directed to megaCCAteam@energynext.com or 518.533.5399.

MEGA, is a not-for-profit local development corporation based in Upstate New York, with two decades of successful energy aggregation programs for municipal facilities in more than 300 local jurisdictions.

  • Message from the Mayor


      Welcome to the Village of Newark Valley!

    We hope you find what you are searching for in this electronic view of our rural unique Village. Our one thousand fifty residents offer a sincere welcome to our friends and to those who are not familiar with the areas' rolling hills, vistas and other scenic attributes of New York's Southern Tier.

    We are creating these digital pages of information so our citizens may seek information such as, Village Codes, Municipal Meeting days/dates and time; ask questions of your Municipal leaders and Staff via the e-mail format or just tell us "What is on your mind". Information must be easy to retrieve and we believe this user friendly format will be useful to everyone.

    Our five members Board of Trustees welcome your insight and participation with the opportunities and obstacles in operating this community in the most fiscally responsible manner. We wish to improve infrastructure, tax base and attractions in our Village. With your comments and help - that will happen.

    MayorBest Regards
    James P. Tornatore
    Mayor
