Village  of  Niles  Electricity  Choice  Municipal  Aggregation  Program    

             Dear  Village  of  Niles  Residents  and  Small  Business  Owners,      On  April  9th,  2013,  voters  in  the  Village  of  Niles  approved  a  referendum  allowing  the  community  to  enter  into  an  electricity  purchasing  agreement  to  maximize  electricity  supply  savings  for  its  residential  and  small  business  customers.    

For  the  past  year,  residents  enrolled  in  the  electricity  choice  program  were  receiving  its  electricity  supply  from  Homefield  Energy.  This  agreement  is  set  to  expire  May  31,  2015.      Great  News!  After  an  extensive  bidding  process,  the  Village  has  decided  to  renew  its  Electricity  Choice  Municipal  Aggregation  program  and  has  selected  IDT  Energy,  Inc.  (IDTE),  to  supply  eligible  residents  and  small  business  customers  with  electricity  supply.
