ECM Power LLC delivers experienced
Community Power Aggregation program implementation
and support services
Since the Community Power law was passed in 2019, ECM Power principal Emily Manns has worked with communities to plan and implement competitive, stable-rate community power programs with renewable energy options including a green default.
Why choose a stable-rate Community Power program?
- Access to competitive markets and new consumer protections for small customers
For the first time, residential and small commercial customers have access to competitive electric supply rates that are set for periods longer than six months, with new consumer protections not available to individuals in the competitive market.
- Potential to increase community-wide renewable energy use significantly
Community Power provides a new default service for customers. Adding 10% local renewable energy to the default increases community renewable energy use by a whopping 40% over the state minimum.
- Longer terms allow customers to plan and budget energy costs over longer periods up to 36 months
Customers enrolled in a stable-rate Community Power program can plan and budget energy costs and efficiency purchases knowing their rates will remain constant for months or years unless they make a change.
- All rates and terms are known before the municipality signs a contract
The Electric Services Agreement (ESA) contract is signed by the municipality with a qualified supplier only once all rates and terms are known.
- Individual customers can come and go without fees
Individual customers can come and go from the program without program fees or penalties, effective on their next available monthly meter read date.
- Billing, delivery and emergency services all stay with the distribution utility
Customers continue to get a single bill from their distribution utility. Billing, emergency services and delivery continue through the customer’s distribution utility.
- Options for lowest cost and more renewable energy
A program launch unlocks new customer choices for stable, competitive rates for periods longer than the utility default service, which changes every 6 months.
- No cost to the municipality
All costs are included in program rates. There is no cost to the municipality for running a program.
