Rates and Supply Options
Rates & Supply Options
rates are in $/kWh
The Town of Orangetown 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 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).
