Electric Aggregation

VILLAGE ELECTRICAL AGGREGATION RENEWAL

AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2025

The Village's current electric aggregation program with Dynegy will conclude in August 2025. The Village’s energy consultant held a competitive bid process where Constellation presented the most competitive rate that would provide Indian Hill residents an opportunity to capitalize on electric bill savings.

The new electric aggregation rate is $0.09500/kWh. This rate will begin with August meter readings and appear on September 2025 invoices. The rate will continue for a three-year term through August 2028. The new rate is 9% lower than the current Duke Price-to-Compare rate of $0.10445/kWh as of June 1, 2025.

Ohio law requires that residents and eligible mercantile accounts be made aware of the contract rate change and a new round of Opt-Out notices will be sent to all eligible households and businesses currently participating in the aggregation program and those eligible who are currently on Duke Energy’s electric generation service. This will include those who have previously opted out of the program during previous contracts. You should receive a notice from Constellation in June or early July.

After receiving the Opt-Out notice, if you wish to remain in the Village’s aggregation program, no action is required by you

Notices will not be sent to residents who currently receive their electric supply service as the result of exercising their ability to contract their own supplier/rate outside the aggregation program. Individuals on certain utility assistance programs also may not be allowed retail electric supplier participation and would not receive an Opt-Out notice under the aggregation program.

Also, you will receive a letter from Duke Energy confirming your enrollment. Once again, there is no action required.

Please know that residents can opt-out of the Village’s aggregation program and research their own program by visiting the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio's "Energy Choice Ohio" at www.energychoice.ohio.gov.

If you wish to choose a different plan than the one offered by the Village, the Village cautions that you become familiar with another vendor’s program thoroughly before making the switch. Vendors may provide lower introductory rates; however, once the introductory period expires, rates may increase significantly higher than the Village’s longer-term aggregation rate. In addition, there may be fees and penalties with cancellation prior to a contract end date. There are no fees or penalties associated with the Village’s program.

Please do not hesitate to contact the Village at 513-561-6500, email [email protected] or 513-561-6500 or AGE, the Village’s energy consultant (Jordan Haarmann – 618-203-8328) if you have questions or need additional information.

With the start of the Village’s new electric aggregation contract beginning in August 2025, and relative to Duke Energy’s new rate structure for June 2025 – May 2026, the Village’s consultant, AGE Powered by Priority Power, has updated the usage threshold for residents within the Village to benefit from the program’s new rate.

Constellation will be serving the Village’s electric aggregation beginning in August 2025 at a fixed rate of $0.095/kWh. This rate will be charged for all kWh’s consumed while a resident is enrolled in the program.

In comparison, Duke Energy’s new price-to-compare for the summer period of June 2025 – September 2025 will be $0.10445/kWh for all kWh’s consumed. However, in the non-summer months of October 2025 – May 2026, Duke Energy has a tiered rate based on usage. During the non-summer periods, Duke Energy will charge $0.10445/kWh for the first 1,000 kWh’s consumed in a billing period, and all additional kWh’s will be charged at $0.05678/kWh

With this tiered rate structure for electric supply from Duke Energy, the more kWh’s consumed in the non-summer months, the lower a resident’s actual price-to-compare will be. Your actual price-to-compare can be found on your Duke Energy bill, typically on page 3 in the paragraphs on the far-right side of the bill.

AGE has advised the Village that Savings will be present for all residents during the summer months of the program, but in the non-summer months households consistently consuming over 1,450 kWh’s per month would come out ahead in total costs by opting out of the Village’s electric aggregation contract with Constellation and returning to Duke Energy’s standard service for electric supply. It is recommended to opt-out of the aggregation program in early September as you would be removed from the program on the next available meter reading date.

If you are a larger user of electricity and wish to opt-out of the new aggregation contract with Constellation, you can do so by contacting Constellation at 833-579-1087 or visiting www.constellation.com/oh-indianhill.
