CENTRALIA, IL — Centralia selected Collinsville-based Homefield Energy as the low bidder after a competitive bid with three of the country’s leading alternative retail electric suppliers recently for the local electricity aggregation program.

Homefield Energy will deliver electricity at stable, fixed rates for 18-24 months, depending on the option selected by the community.

The new lower price becomes effective in December. In preparation for the new contract rates, residents and eligible small businesses will receive opt-out notices in the mail in early October, and customers who do not opt out will be enrolled at the new rates.

There is no cost to participate in the program, and a customer may leave the program at any time without obligation.

Good Energy is a national energy management consultant firm that prepares, negotiates and purchases utility supply contracts for consumers and businesses in deregulated markets. The company has clients in 22 deregulated states including Illinois.
