Community Advisory: City Warns of Electricity Supplier Solicitations

Posted on Thursday May 03, 2012 in Alert, Sustainability, Utilities Department

UPDATE: Chicago Tribune article from 5/3/2012 Electrical aggregation: if you switch...

The City of Evanston has been informed by community members that alternative electricity suppliers are soliciting Evanston residents to buy their products. These suppliers do not represent the City of Evanston.

On April 30, 2012, the Evanston City Council voted unanimously to purchase electricity from Constellation Energy, an Alternate Retail Electricity Supplier (ARES), and specified that a 100% renewable energy mix be used. This move makes Evanston one of the few Illinois communities to purchase energy at a substantially lower rate for its residents, while attaining the benefits of renewable energy.

Any supplier making phone calls or visiting a residence or business in person is not representing the City of Evanston nor providing information as part of a city program.
