Freeholder asks for technical assistance for municipalities

Freeholder Director Joe Donnelly recently announced that he has called upon the Burlington County Bridge Commission to provide technical assistance to municipalities that are considering community-wide energy aggregate contracts to procure utility bill savings for their residents and businesses.

In addition, said Donnelly, he has reached out to Commission Chairman John B. Comegno II, and asked that the commission evaluate as well the merits for a county-wide or multi-town energy aggregate program, to determine if such an arrangement, if found to be feasible, could generate even greater savings to homeowners.

Donnelly noted that the freeholder board has already partnered with the commission on the “Greenbacks to Go Green“ program, a shared services initiative that has assisted some five dozen towns and schools in securing tax-saving energy upgrades to their public facilities, often with state grant dollars.

Plumstead Township in Ocean County is the only municipality in New Jersey to engage in an aggregate contract.

Estimates are that this will result in annual savings of approximately $165 per customer.
