MVCC Electric and Natural Gas Aggregation Programs In 2022, the MVCC Board adopted a resolution authorizing the creation of electric and natural gas aggregation programs for MVCC members and affiliate communities. As part of the legislation Palmer Energy was selected to provide consulting services and assistance with organizing the programs.

In June 2023, the aggregation governing Board, which included representatives from the participating communities of Brookville, Centerville, Clayton, Eaton, Englewood, Fairborn, Germantown, Kettering, Miamisburg, Moraine, Trotwood, Union, Vandalia and West Carrolton, voted unanimously to award a 28-month electric supplier agreement to Energy Harbor for residential and small business customers effective with the September billing period The rate for customers who did not choose to opt-out of the program was 6.57cents/kWh - significantly less than the AES rate of 10.81 cents/kWh. By participating in the MVCC Aggregation Program, the average residential customer saved more than $325.00 over 12 months. Small businesses saved more than $600 over that same period of time. The 6.57 cents/kWh rate expires at the end of 2025.

During 2023 and again in 2024, rate proposals were solicited from natural gas suppliers but in each case, the quoted rate was non-competitive given existing market conditions, so in both instances the governing Board decided not to move forward with natural gas aggregation.

In 2024, the cities of Troy, New Lebanon, Monroe, and Oakwood joined the MVCC Electric Aggregation Program. The City of Oakwood offers an electric aggregation program that requires its residents and small businesses to opt-in.

Dynegy Energy Services acquired Energy Harbor in the fall of 2024 and is now the current electric supplier. By contract, Dynegy is required to honor the rate and terms originally agreed to by Energy Harbor.

In April 2025, a third natural gas RFP resulted in the submission of a single quote by Archer Energy. The governing Board is currently considering that proposal. If the decision is made to move forward, natural gas aggregation for 19 local communities will be available this fall.

Electric aggregation price quotes are currently being solicited for 2026. Additional information regarding both the gas and electric aggregation programs will be available in early June.

More than 20 cities are involved in a program in which MVCC solicits completive bids for vendors to provide electrical supply services to municipally-owned facilities within the participating jurisdictions.
