Powering Our Communities

FES Brings Powering Our Communities Program to NOPEC
FirstEnergy Solutions Corp. (FES) and the Northeast Ohio Public Energy Council (NOPEC) have entered into an agreement making FES the generation supplier for customers in the 126 Northeast Ohio communities served by NOPEC.  The agreement extends from January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2019. 

Long-term savings
The Powering Our Communities program locks in long-term discounted generation prices to residential and small commercial customers in these communities. Residential customers in participating communities receive 6% off the Price to Compare (PTC) – and small businesses will receive 4% percent off the PTC – through the end of 2019. Depending on the number of eligible communities that participate, the electric generation savings to customers could amount to $19 million a year, based on current generation prices. 

Funding for our communities
In addition, FirstEnergy Solutions will provide $12 million in funding support for energy efficiency and green energy projects throughout Northeast Ohio. The level of funding is based on the number of customers in each community who participate in the program.
