Aggregated Gas and Electric
Genoa Township established a contract to leverage the group buying power of its residents and businesses to provide lower gas and electric rates after voter approval for the opt-out program in 2015. This process is called “aggregation.” Eligible households are automatically enrolled in the aggregation program but may opt out at any time to use another provider of their choice.

Contact the Township's energy aggregation advisor, Trebel, to be removed from future aggregation mailings (make this request at 877-861-2772). For electric aggregation only, the Public Utilities Commission (PUCO) offers a 'do not aggregate' service for those who wish to forego receiving aggregation mailings in the future. 

The current fixed rate for community aggregated electricity is $.0849 per kwh and .769 per ccf for gas.
To opt-in or out of service for natural gas OR electric aggregation contact: Archer Energy, 844-795-7491
