Aggregation is when a group of customers join together to form a single, larger customer that buys energy for its members. A large buying group may be able to get a better price for the group members than you can get on your own. In Ohio, local communities are allowed, by law, to join their citizens together to buy natural gas and/or electricity as a group and thereby gain buying power to solicit the lowest price for the group's natural gas and/or electricity needs. Learn more about aggregation.  

Energy Harbor is the electric supplier for both the Village of Granville and Granville Township. The Village of Granville hired Aspen Energy to help manage the community aggregation program and can help residents opt in to green electricity supplied by Dinegy (formerly Energy Harbor).

AEP Ohio is the regulated utility that serves Granville and much of the Township.  AEP Ohio owns the power lines and they handle your electric billing including costs for transmission and distribution of the power you use. However, over a decade ago Ohio changed its laws to allow energy customers to choose the supplier for their electricity generation. This benefits us all because we can now shop for the best rates and choose where our power comes from and how it is generated. So, AEP handles transmission and distribution and you (or your community via aggregation ) can pick which company handles the generation of your power. The Village of Granville and Granville Township have contracted with Dinegy (formerly Energy Harbor) to supply our energy through 2026. 

The fixed price for Granville's regular electric aggregation is 7.15 cents per kWh, while the 100% renewable wind energy is just 7.59 cents per kWh. For the average Granville home, the added cost to opt in to renewable electricity is about $3.67 per month - less than a latte! See comparison.

The Granville Green Electric Aggregation Program offers a fixed price for 100% renewable electricity of 7.59 cents per kWh (compared to 7.15 cents per kWh for traditional “dirty” power). For the average Granville home, the added cost to opt in to renewable electricity is about $3.67 per month - less than a latte!  Electric rates from other providers fluctuate frequently.

While all residents are automatically enrolled in the base-level “Opt Out” aggregation program, residents and businesses have an additional opportunity to OPT IN to the Granville Green Electric Aggregation Program to get 100% renewable electric power for your home or business.

30% of Granville’s greenhouse gas emissions come from the generation of the electricity we use in our homes and businesses. By opting into the Granville Green Electric Aggregation Program, you are joining with other community members to drive that 30% towards zero - a significant step toward achieving our climate goals.

The utility bill will show Energy Harbor as the supplier at the program rate for renewable energy at 7.59 cents/kWh.  Unfortunately, the utility does not allow additional space on the bill to show program details, however, participants can verify enrollment in the renewable program using either the terms and conditions mailed with the welcome letter or the energy rate on the bill.

Yes! Small businesses in Granville can opt in and get 100% renewable electricity

By opting into the Granville Green Electric Aggregation Program, you are “effectively” using 100% renewable electricity to power your home or business. This is accomplished by our aggregation partner purchasing Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) that ensures every bit of electricity you use is balanced with an equal amount of renewable electricity fed into the electric grid. By opting in, you are increasing the demand for green energy, encouraging further development of renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind…)

Granville’s Energy Aggregator is in the process of making upgrades to their terms and conditions and billing system and after June 2026 customers with solar panels will be able to join the program.

Residents are free to opt-out of the aggregation program anytime for any reason without penalty or early termination fee.

Dynegy (formerly Energy Harbor) source wind energy from a number of generation facilities which, depending on cost and availability, may change over time in order to meet 100% of the required supply needs in a cost effective manner for residents.

The current supply agreement specifies renewable energy from wind generation sources at a guaranteed rate through June 2026.  There is no provision in the contract to change the generation source or the cost to residents prior to June 2026, however, Dynegy (formerly Energy Harbor) would be happy to provide other renewable supply options, such as solar energy, for consideration in the future.
