llinois law allows municipalities and counties to purchase electricity on behalf of residential and small business utility customers within their borders. Electrical aggregation --- which means the Village of Orland Park buys electricity in bulk at a discounted rate --- came to the village in 2012.

Electric power is produced by a company other than ComEd with ComEd continuing to supply electricity over its electricity grid. ComEd customers who are part of the purchasing group are billed by ComEd and continue to contact ComEd with service needs.

On March 3, 2014, the Village Board of Trustees authorized the Village to enter a new three-year agreement with FirstEnergy Solutions Corporation as the lowest price supplier, starting on meter-read dates in May, 2014.  That fixed rate is 6.46 cents per KWh. 

Residents and eligible small business accounts are automatically enrolled unless they have already changed to an alternate supplier or are in a residential real time program (RRTP). There is no cost to enroll.

Since electrical aggregation came to the Village of Orland Park in August of 2012, participants in the program have saved more than 40% on home electric bills.
