Gas Aggregation Update

Anderson Township voters gave the go-ahead to township trustees on Election Day this year to form a gas aggregation program.

The “yes” vote means trustees now are free to create an aggregated buying group to purchase natural gas with the goal of providing stable prices and money-savings over time. Trustees will move ahead with the buying group only if they determine rates are favorable for township residents.

The township has provided this opportunity to residents before, but with an electricity aggregation program. Anderson’s opt-out electricity aggregation program went into effect in 2017. That program has been a hedge against rising prices by providing a locked-in price. Savings since July 2020 through March 2022 have averaged 2.5 percent.
