North Plainfield Community Choice Energy Aggregation Program - 7/12/16
PSE&G Residential Electric Customers who have not selected a third party (non-PSE&G) electric supplier for their energy use will receive a letter this week informing them of the North Plainfield Community Choice Energy Aggregation Program. Simply stated, the NJ Board of Public Utilities (BPU) allows for communities to obtain competitive bids for electricity through bundling the electric demand in the municipality and obtaining a quantity discount. This is a voluntary program, although participation in it will result in 6% lower electric rates for PSE&G residential customers and an increase of 5% in the renewable energy component of electricity. The BPU prescribes a very specific process for this program which is why all customers are automatically enrolled unless they opt out (which they may do at any time). Customers will continue to receive a single bill from PSE&G, PSE&G will continue to respond to all service calls and read meters, and those customers who have PSE&G's WorryFree protection program or custom billing plans will continue to be enrolled in those programs. The attached links provide a copy of the letter and, for those who do not wish to participate in the program, an opt-out card (please also print your name and address if using this card). The letter explains highlights of the program as well as provides contact info for any questions, and information on two meetings which will be held next week to answer any questions. Letter to Residents Opt-out Card (Print your name and address if using this on-line version) Letter to Residents (in Spanish) Whether of not you participate in this program you always have the right to shop around for an energy supplier to seek the best price, and select the renewable energy component of your electric supply!
