Jefferson Township To Join The Morris Area Energy Cooperative

JEFFERSON TOWNSHIP, NJ — Jefferson Township officials announced Monday plans to join the Morris Area Energy Cooperative beginning March 2021.

The MAEC is a government energy aggregation that offers power supply rate reduction and consumer protections that citizens cannot obtain on their own, township officials said.

By joining a GEA, the municipality combines the usage of all residents, commercial, and governmental properties to receive a lower energy supply price than what the local distribution company currently charges.

"Many townships in our area are currently enrolled in this great program in order to bring electricity rate savings to residents," officials said in a news release.

Officials said residents can choose to opt out without a fee at any time. To learn more, click here.

There will be an informational meeting via Zoom at 6 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 13. It will hosted by NJ Aggregation. To participate in the Zoom meeting, visit this link.
