Reports from Visitors:
Joe Bove, representing Energy Alliances, Inc., from Cincinnati, Ohio. He presented to council information explaining different energy savings programs not only for the village but also residents of the village. This is through Government Aggregation where in Ohio, state law provides local communities the opportunity to pool their citizens into large buying groups for natural gas and/or electricity. Many communities and thousands of customers are unaware they have options to manage their energy costs. They provide communities education, ease of switching and price stability as well as price protection. Governmental opt-out aggregation automatically enrolls a customer in the program unless they choose to opt out.
