Rates and Supply Options
Rates & Supply Options
rates are in $/kWh
The Villages have been part of Rockland Community Power, a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA), using our collective purchasing power to offer 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 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).
In advance of the current CCA contract ending, the Villages tried to secure new pricing to continue the renewable electricity supply program. The market conditions were not favorable for a new renewable electricity contract. The Village will continue to review bids in the coming months to see if changing market conditions allow us to relaunch a renewable electricity supply program with favorable rates in the new year.
If the Village is able to relaunch a renewable electricity supply program, eligible residents and small businesses will be notified by mail. As before, public education would precede the launch of any new contract.

Those who opt out will receive electricity supply from ORU at the variable market rate.4 Standard Option If you wish to participate in the program, but don’t want 100% renewable energy by default, you may still obtain a fixed rate by choosing the standard supply option.
