The Village Board has adopted an ordinance authorizing Village participation in an electrical aggregation program that is expected to save about $200 a year off a resident’s electric bill.
The measure was initially passed in a referendum by 69 percent of the local voters in the March 20 primary election.
In a brief public hearing, with only one question from the public, the board quickly passed the enabling ordinance Tuesday night and made plans with previously-retained consultant Larry Shover, of Northern Illinois Municipal Electric Collaborative, to prepare a general mailing on Village letterhead to be sent to all residents and small businesses explaining the new alternative energy program.
