Norway City Council discusses extending power contract with WPPI Energy
What happened
The Norway City Council discussed a proposal to extend its contract with WPPI Energy through 2073, moving beyond the current agreement that runs until 2055. WPPI Energy provides and generates wholesale electricity to the city’s members, and the city is a member of the company. The city manager noted that WPPI Energy also provides utility software, AMI support for electric and water meters, and community programs.
Why it matters
The proposed contract extension is designed to secure long-term energy agreements. WPPI Energy stated that such agreements could potentially decrease power costs for the city’s members. Additionally, WPPI Energy assists the city by helping wholesale excess power capacity into the market and supplying additional power when the city’s capacity is insufficient.
