Background

In 2011, following the passage of a voter Referendum, the Village of Clarendon Hills contracted to procure electric supply in bulk for residents and small business owners. The average participating Clarendon Hills resident enjoyed savings on their ComEd bills for many years.  Following a 2013 referendum, residents allowed the Village of Clarendon Hills to negotiate the purchase price of combined electrical supply on behalf of residents and small businesses enrolled in the Aggregation Program (Program).  The Village can leverage better pricing by lumping several purchasers together opposed to an individual going to the market on their own. Since 2013, the Village has held a competitive bidding process on behalf of participants to find the best electric prices.  The lowest competitive bidder is awarded a contract for a 12 month period.  

Program Benefits:

• Guaranteed at the ComEd rate, with no rate risk of paying more than ComEd
• No hidden fees, no termination fee, flexibility to join or leave the program
• The Village receives a Contribution for local initiatives, at zero added cost to residents and the Village

 Frequently Asked Questions

I thought electric aggregation was a savings program. Will I save money on this program? 

No, but you will never pay more than the ComEd rate. The Village received competitive bids for a standard program, but all pricing was higher than ComEd. The Village will retain its status 

Someone came to my door to sign me up.

Beware! No one from ComEd, MC Squared, or the Village will ever call or visit you at home to sign you up. Never reveal your ComEd account information to solicitors who say they represent the Village or ComEd.

Why are some accounts at ComEd and some at MC Squared Energy?

First, there is no difference to you: the price is exactly the same for all. Suppliers analyze every meter; depending on complex usage patterns, certain accounts are selected to remain at ComEd and others switch to MC Squared. All pay the exact same rate; additionally, the Village will receive a small reserve fund at zero cost to residents.

Will this cost me more money?

No, there are no fees to you or the Village. The rate will always remain the ComEd rate.
