I just got a letter that says my village (Morton Grove, IL) contracted
with an electrical supplier to provide juice that ComEd was providing.
Effective rate goes from 8.5 cents per kwh to 4.42.
If I don't opt out, I'm in.
Sounds too good to be true.
Anybody else run into this?


Damned good rate. I have ConEd here in CT and pay .0659. Most
suppliers are about .07 and the utility is .082. Given your location,
I'd say it could be true as power is usually lower than here.

As for buying a Volt, with that rate the payback would only be about
20 years.
