Municipal aggregation & buying groups in deregulated markets for natural gas & electricity

Here's what public officials who have worked with IEC President Mark Burns have to say:

"The city of Green has saved its residents literally millions of dollars in reduced costs for both power and natural gas. Given Mr. Burns' extensive knowledge and customer responsiveness, I would recommend him unconditionally to coordinate any utility-based study."

Dan Croghan, Mayor, City of Green, OH

Municipal Aggregation

The deregulation of natural gas and electricity services in Ohio and other states has made it possible for cities, counties, villages and townships to establish aggregation programs, or buying groups, individually or with others, that allow retail customers (such as residents and small businesses) to combine their purchasing power to achieve savings on natural gas and electricity costs.

The people at Independent Energy Consultants are pioneers in the successful implementation of electricity and natural gas aggregation programs in the Ohio market. In Ohio, Virginia and Texas, local governments may choose to implement an "Opt-in" program (where each consumer must agree to participate to be included) or an "Opt-out" program (where each consumer is automatically included in the buying group unless he or she specifically requests not to be).

Municipal Aggregation is a valuable service that residents and small businesses look for from their local governments. It has proven to be the most effective way to help small consumers manage their utility bills, and has received overwhelming support wherever it's been tried. To find out which type of program is best for your community, please contact us.
