Rates and Supply Options

Rates & Supply Options 

rates are in $/kWh

 

The Town of Clarkstown has been part of Rockland Community Power, a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) with five other villages and towns in Rockland County, using our collective purchasing power to offer fixed rate renewable electricity supply as the default for eligible O&R customers in those towns and villages. At the end of September 2024, our current contract with the electricity supplier Constellation NewEnergy ends after 18 months, as expected.

At the end of the CCA contract, participating residents will be automatically returned to O&R for their electricity supply. All impacted residents and small businesses will receive a notice from O&R of the exact date their supply service will switch over to O&R for their account(s).

NOTE: The 50% Renewable Fixed Rate Option includes 50% electricity supply matched by Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) provided by New York State renewable power plants (hydropower, wind, solar). The remaining 50% is matched by RECs sourced from other U.S. renewable electricity sources, but are not tracked or verified by the NYS Department of Public Service. The 50% Renewable Option is not counted as 100% renewable by New York State. Standard supply is a mix of fossil fuels, renewable energy, and a minor amount of renewable energy.
