On March 20, 2012, voters in the Village of Lemont approved an Electric Aggregation, opt-out program. Electric Aggregation allows the Village to bundle, or aggregate, residents and small commercial retail customers together to seek bids for a cheaper source of electrical power.

Current Program Details Expires October 2, 2023

Residents that are currently included in the Village of Lemont electric aggregation program with contracted energy supplier, AEP Energy, will receive a notice from ComEd that the term is expiring, and they are being switched to ComEd's electric supplier. The Village of Lemont program with AEP Energy was a 24-month period at a fixed rate of 7.081 cents/kWh which expires effective October 2, 2023.  

At this time, the Village of Lemont has determined that the current competitive rate structure for the electric aggregation program does not offer an overall lower bundle pricing as it has in the past. Therefore, we will not be offering an electric aggregation program to Village of Lemont residents after the AEP Energy contract expires in October 2023.

Effective October 2, 2023, residents that participate in the AEP Energy program through the Village of Lemont will automatically receive their electricity supply through ComEd. Residents are also able to seek a retail electric supplier (RES) themselves. Please see more information below.

ComEd is a distribution company only and is in the business of getting power to customers’ homes and businesses and restoring power when needed. ComEd does not generate electricity itself and has no power plants. The Illinois Power Agency arranges for electricity supply from the wholesale market on behalf of ComEd. They administer a competitive bidding process each year that is overseen by the Illinois Commerce Commission. ComEd purchases power from the wholesale market for customers who choose to remain on ComEd’s supply, and that electricity supply cost gets passed on to customers with no mark-up. Customers pay what ComEd pays.

Residents can purchase their electric supply from a number of retail electric suppliers (RESs) and are encouraged to visit electric supply options through the Illinois Commerce Commission website as suggested by ComEd, at https://pluginillinois.gov. Select “Your Available Choices” from the top navigation. The website contains much information regarding your choices for an RES. No matter who you select, you will receive one bill from ComEd for payment purposes which does indicate the name of your current electric supplier.

Since we are not seeking an electric aggregation agreement at this time with an RES, we will not be sending out any notifications nor will we call residents stating that we have chosen a new supplier. In the past, there have been companies that sent out mailings and called residents claiming that they are the new supplier selected by the Village of Lemont. Residents are free to choose who they want as their retail electric supplier or remain with ComEd’s supplier.

If you have any questions, please visit ComEd.com, their mobile app, or contact them Monday – Friday, 7 am – 7 pm at 800-334-7661.
