Electric Aggregation FAQs
What is Electric Aggregation?
Electric aggregation allows local governments to combine residents and small businesses to buy electricity in bulk, often leading to lower rates. Since the program began in 2016, Butler Township's electric aggregation program has helped residents save millions of dollars on electric supply costs.
How Does It Work?
- Approved by voters in 2016, Butler Township’s Opt-Out Aggregation Program enrolls eligible residents automatically (unless they’re in a separate contract).
- You can opt out at any time with no penalty by returning the opt-out form or calling the supplier.
- You can rejoin the program later if you choose.
What Is the Current Rate?
-
The current Butler Township electric aggregation rate is $0.09998 per kWh, effective from the June 2026 meter read through the May 2027 meter read.
- This rate reflects the annual capacity charge established for the program. The Township will post future rate changes when we are notified.
What is a Capacity Charge?
A capacity charge helps ensure enough electricity is available during periods of peak demand. Think of it as an insurance policy for the electric grid that helps maintain reliability and prevent outages. Capacity charges are established annually and are reflected in the aggregation rate each June.
What Changes on My Bill?
Only the supply rate changes. Delivery, taxes, and fees are still handled by AES Ohio. The new supplier rate appears under the supply section on your bill.
Already Have a Supplier?
If you're under contract with another supplier, you won’t be auto enrolled. You can join the aggregation program once your contract ends by contacting Archer Energy at 844-795-7491.
Who Chooses the Supplier?
Butler Township works with its independent energy advisor, Trebel, to evaluate the electricity market, negotiate competitive pricing, and recommend the best supplier. The Township Trustees then select a supplier certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO). The current supplier is Archer Energy.
How Do I Enroll?
If you’re not in a separate supply contract, you’ll be enrolled automatically. There’s no cost to join, and you can re-enroll at any time by contacting Archer Energy at 844-795-7491.
How Do I Opt Out?
Return the opt-out form included in the letter from Archer Energy or call 844-795-7491 (M–F, 9 a.m.–5 p.m.).

Why Electric Aggregation Matters
Electric aggregation helps residents and small businesses benefit from the community's purchasing power without having to shop for electricity on their own. While the program's rate may not always be the lowest available at every point in time, it is designed to provide competitive pricing, stability, and protection from market volatility.

What If There’s a Power Outage?
You’ll still call AES Ohio for outages and service issues. They remain your utility for delivery and infrastructure.
