據原油新聞3月1日消息稱，俄勒岡市議會最近批準了一項客戶供應協議，作為西北俄亥俄州聯合聯盟(NOAC)的一部分，該協議將向住宅和小型商業客戶提供天然氣。

自2000年以來，該市一直是俄亥俄州公用事業委員會(PUCO)認證的政府聯合機構，多年來為住宅和小型商業用戶提供了各種項目。

根據目前的合同，該市在NOAC以及幾個鄰近社區的會員，估計為所有NOAC的住宅和小型商業參與者節省110萬美元。

行政長官Mike Beazley在周一的會議上說：“多年來，俄勒岡州一直是天然氣和電力聯合聯盟的一部分。我們對居民的工作方式感到非常滿意。這是政府為數不多的能把錢放進居民口袋的事情之一。通過這種伙伴關系，我們確實為該地區的人們節省了數千萬美元。”

NOAC當前與Volunteer Energy的協議將于2021年5月到期。NOAC的能源顧問Palmer Energy最近向11個供應商發布了針對住宅和小型商業客戶的建議書請求。NOAC收到了五份為俄勒岡州的住宅和小型商業客戶提供低成本天然氣的提案。

Oregon Approves Contract with Natural Gas Suppliers

Oregon City Council recently approved a customer supply agreement for the provision of natural gas to residential and small commercial customers as part of the Northwest Ohio Aggregation Coalition (NOAC).

The city has been a Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) certified governmental aggregator since 2000 and has offered various programs to residential and small commercial users over the years.

The city’s membership in NOAC, along with several neighboring communities, has resulted in an estimated savings to all NOAC residential and small commercial participants of $1.1 million on the current contract.

“For many years, Oregon has been part of an aggregation coalition for both natural gas and electricity,” said Administrator Mike Beazley at a meeting on Monday. “We feel very good about how that has worked for our residents. It is one of the very few things that government can do that actually puts money in our residents’ pockets. We literally save tens of millions of dollars for the regional population through this partnership.”

NOAC’s current agreement with Volunteer Energy expires in May 2021. NOAC’s energy consultant, Palmer Energy, recently issued a Request For Proposals (RFP) for residential and small commercial customers to 11 suppliers. NOAC received five proposals for the provision of lower-cost natural gas to residential and small commercial customers in Oregon.
