Town of Union announces Community Choice Aggregation Program for fixed Natural Gas prices

The Town believes residents would save money in the long term as a result of this program.

UNION (WBNG) -- Residents in the town of Union were offered fixed prices for natural gas in the town’s community choice aggregation program. The town said the two-year program will keep gas bills at a steady rate of 53 cents per therm, rather than the changing prices offered by NYSEG throughout the year.

Town Supervisor Robert Mack said residents are automatically opted into the program that they plan on starting later this summer. Residents will have the option to opt-out at any time.

Mack explains that this program could be especially useful during the winter months when gas bills tend to be higher. He believes residents will have the freedom to pick the plan that works for them.

“If you’re the type of person who wants to watch the gas pricing on a monthly basis you can go in and out of this program and save money,” Mack said. “Or, you can stay in the program at one rate, or you can get out and stay out until the program’s over.”

Mack believes residents would save money in the long term as a result of this program.

Town of Union residents have reached out to 12 News was concerns about this program. The town says they will hold an informational meeting news Wednesday at 7 p.m. in the Union Town Hall to further explain the program and answer any questions.
