From The Desk Of Brian Harrod..... QUESTION OF THE DAY: "Hey Yonkers Would You Like To Pay More For Your Electricity In The City of Hills?' POWER PLAY: The The Westchester Power Community Energy Program Wants To Change Your Yonkers Electric Power Provider To Save The Planet. AUTOMATIC SIGN UP: Because the program relies on bulk purchasing, the program design is an opt-out model. This means that all Yonkers residents who have not already contracted with an energy supplier different from Con Ed (a separate ESCO) are automatically enrolled into the 100% renewable supply option of program, which may increase their electric bills. Westchester Power is a program of Sustainable Westchester, a not-for-profit municipal consortium providing clean 100% renewable energy at a competitive price. The program began in May 2016 and, as of October 2019, has 27 participating municipalities and only 115,000 customers, because it may increase your power bill. Westchester Power’s FIXED rate supply cannot be guaranteed and during the past year and a half they paid more, but no fossil fuels were used. Constellation Energy won the bid for Sustainable Westchester’s Westchester Power program in the Con Edison municipalities and they will be listed on your #ConEd bill You may revert to Con Ed at any point without any fees or cancellation charges. You have the same choices you always had (and one more – Westchester Power). You can opt-out online by calling the Sustainable Westchester office at 914.242.4725. It is important to note that it may take up to two billing cycles for you to see the FINAL change and you may suffer higher costs during this period. This is solely dependent on where you are in your billing cycle when you initiate the opt-out and the schedule of your next meter read by Con Ed.... https://www.facebook.com/groups/YonkersNewswire/permalink/2875244799399746/
