This provides a fixed rate of 7.719¢ per kWh, which is lower than the current aggregation rate with Dynegy of 8.25¢ and lower than the Ameren rate of 8.136¢. Letters will go out to residents in the next week or so.

Is this letter a scam?

No this letter is not a scam. Its purpose is to inform residents of the new municipal aggregation program.

Will my rate change?

If your current provider is Dynegy, they will receive the lower rate of 7.719¢ with Constellation starting in October.

Can I be removed from this program?

Yes, at any time one can Opt Out of the program without any penalty and cancellation fee and move to paying the Ameren rate. If you’d like to be removed from the program, you can follow directions on the letter you received, or email La Salle’s consultant Adam Hoover and he can process your request (ahoover@nimec.net)

If I already have a different power supplier, or solar, how will this impact me?

Nothing will change. If residents have made a decision for their own power supplier, they will not be impacted. If those residents would like to join the program they can at no cost. It is recommended that they check with their current supplier to ensure there are no cancellation fees.

How will my billing change?

Residents will still be billed and have their power delivered by Ameren. If there is a power outage, they can still call Ameren to receive support.

What if someone comes to my door to sell me energy?

Any solicitor who comes to your door or calls asking you to switch to a new supplier is not associated with La Salle, Constellation or Ameren.
