From The Desk Of Yonkers Newswire Editor Brian Harrod.... OMG.... Mayor Mike Spano Wants To Switch You To Higher Electricity Rates During A Pandemic.... MEDIA ALERT: #YonkersYonkers Mayor Mike Spano will join Sustainable Westchester representatives Wednesday, February 10 at 11:30AM at Yonkers City Hall (Unity Fountain) to announce the City’s plans to join Sustainable Westchester’s Community Choice Aggregation program, known as Westchester Power. The fixed-rate, 100% emission-free energy program allows municipalities like Yonkers to negotiate better utility supply rates and “green” the electricity grid on behalf of its residents. Westchester Power currently serves 115,000 residents in 28 Westchester municipalities who have come together to address climate change through their electricity choice. Yonkers is set to become the largest participant in the program that selects from qualified Energy Service Companies (ESCOs) for a renewable energy supply. CITY HALL UPDATE: City officials have Contacted The Yonkers Newswire and said this proposal is in the preliminary stages and need to go through multiple approval steps and that Mayor Mike Spano wont enter into an agreement that doesn't allow any Yonkers business or residence to easily opt out of being a Sustainable Westchester client at any time. https://www.facebook.com/groups/YonkersNewswire/permalink/2892934690964090/
