Currently $0.071/kWh aggregated rate in our town, plus Posted by Bill Homer [Email]

taxes of about 10%, so still under 8 cents per kWh. Our town voted to enact a lower aggregated electric rate from an independent energy supplier - the rate of $0.071/kWh includes both the supply services (Verde Energy @$0.05192/kWh) and delivery services (ComEd @$0.01937/kWh). I had to go back to the ComEd plan to change my metering, they claim that the average rate is actually a penny less, so something like $0.06/kWh if I can believe them. We'll see how this pans out.
