The City of Mansfield has joined NOPEC’s electric aggregation program. Residents and small businesses will be able to take advantage of electric supply rates negotiated exclusively for NOPEC customers beginning with their July usage.
Eligible customers will soon receive enrollment letters in the mail that explain NOPEC’s electric program options and rates, along with providing customers the option to opt out of the aggregation program. NOPEC is required by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) to send these enrollment letters to all eligible residential and small business customers in NOPEC member communities.
To enroll, you do not need to take any action. NOPEC’s Standard Program Price is the default electric program that all eligible customers are enrolled into unless they choose one of NOPEC’s other program options. Other options include a monthly variable rate that is a discounted rate off the utility’s price to compare, 12- or 24-month fixed term options, and 100% renewable content electric options. For more information on product choices, visit www.nopec.org or call NOPEC’s 24/7 Customer Care Center at 855-NOPEC01 (855-667-3201).
There will be no disruption of service during this switch. Only the supply of electricity will be provided by NOPEC. Ohio Edison will still be the utility responsible for delivering electricity to homes and businesses, reading meters, sending bills, and restoring power after an outage. Customers will continue to receive only one bill.
Once enrolled into the electric aggregation program, NOPEC/NextEra Energy Services should begin appearing as the new electric supplier on customers’ utility bills beginning with their July usage.
If residents do not wish to participate in NOPEC’s electric aggregation, they must notify NOPEC by filling out and mailing back the opt-out form attached to the enrollment letter. The opt-out form can also be faxed to 440-774-4422. The opt-out form must be returned no later than the date indicated in their letter.
If you have additional questions about the enrollment process or NOPEC’s electric aggregation, please contact NOPEC’s Customer Care Center at 855-667-3201. NOPEC’s customer care team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to answer your questions.
