The Town of Marbletown is participating in the relaunch of the Hudson Valley Community Power (HVCP) program, which provides our eligible residents and small businesses with access to renewable electricity supply at competitive rates.
On July 1, 2023, eligible participants will be able to power our homes and businesses with 50% renewable electricity through the relaunched HVCP program. The new default fixed rate will be $0.11240/kWh for residents and small commercial for 50% NYS renewable electricity supply.
What is Hudson Valley Community Power?
Formed in partnership with Joule Community Power, a division of Joule Assets, Inc. (Joule), Hudson Valley Community Power is a community choice aggregation (CCA) program that enables participating communities to leverage the collective buying power of their residents and small businesses to negotiate more favorable terms on their electricity supply, protect consumers, and support renewable generation sources. Community choice provides access to renewable electricity supply at competitive fixed rates. Participation also provides consumer protections, requires no action by those eligible to participate, and benefits appear directly on monthly Central Hudson bills.
Program Details
While all eligible residents and small businesses are automatically enrolled, they can choose not to participate. All eligible residents and small businesses will receive a letter in the mail in May 2023 explaining their options and how to change their participation choice or to opt out via phone, pre-paid opt-out card, or website form. Central Hudson continues to be responsible for electricity delivery, billing, and repair services for all utility account holders, regardless of their program participation.
Our municipality has selected Joule Community Power, a division of Joule Assets (CCA Program Administrator) to implement our community choice program. The program will relaunch with new pricing on July 1, 2023, which will remain stable for 24 months.
