Electricity Aggregation
The Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce is partnering with 11 Chambers of Commerce in Central and Southern Illinois in an Electricity Aggregation program. Over 10 years ago the investor owned electric utilities in Illinois became deregulated. Companies such as Ameren Illinois became a service and distribution company and are no longer in the “electricity supply” business except as a supplier of last resort. Little interest was shown in the typical commercial accounts until groups began to form pools. These pools have now created a competitive market for typical commercial customers.
The Lawrence County Chamber of Commerce has entered into an exclusive agreement with Affordable Gas & Electric (AGE) to act as our agent to secure a special discounted “electricity rate” for our Chamber Member commercial businesses. Any Chamber Member who is currently being served by Ameren as a commercial account whose usage is over 15,000 kWh per year and who have not either entered into a 3rd party contract or within 6 months of current contract expiration, for their supply will be eligible to participate. These new contracts will be for a 2-year period starting July, 2013.
AGE will be negotiating a special discounted bulk energy purchase agreement with Ameren Energy Marketing which is a subsidiary of Ameren. The maximum rate will be $.047 per kWh. The actual rate could be lower depending on the size of the buying pool. So the more members who join in, the lower our rate will be! We anticipate an estimated 15%-25% below the standard supply rate!
So why should you join IN? Besides the dollar savings on your electric bill, you will be helping other Chamber Members obtain a lower rate. For more information or to sign up please click on the link below.
The American Cancer Society and Lawrence County Health Department with the tremendous help of volunteer Susan Gher have brought the Lawrence County Wig Boutique and Patient Resource Center to Lawrence County. This center, located at the Lawrence County Health Department in Lawrenceville, IL, was made possible through monies raised at events such as Relay For Life and by the generous donation from money raised at Day at the Strip car show (this year Day at the Strip will be held on October 13th and 14th at the Mid-American Air Center)! Available at the Patient Resource Center: Monthly educational/awareness information; Treatment information and resources; Relay For Life information; American Cancer Society Wig Boutique and prostesis bank information; Support resources (DVDs, Books, Literature, ect.); Personal health managers; and cosmetologist information (wig cutting and styling). The Wig Boutique and Patient Resource Center is a FREE center. Contact Susan Gher at (618) 843-4652 anytime with questions, concerns, or to schedule a time to visit the center. Lawrence County is truly blessed to have such a wonderful FREE center such as the Wig Boutique and Patient Resource Center! Please let your loved ones and friends know the center is here and have them spred the word.
