[Adopted 1-27-2021 by Ord. No. 1838[1]]

Editor's Note: This ordinance also repealed former Art. I,
Government Energy Aggregation Program, adopted 1-27-2021 by Ord. No. 1838
The Borough hereby establishes a Government Energy Aggregation
Program, in accordance with the provisions of the Government Energy
Aggregation Act, N.J.S.A. 48:3-93.1 et seq.
The Mayor is authorized to execute and the Borough Clerk to
attest to the execution of an energy distribution aggregation agreement,
in a form acceptable to the Borough.
The Glen Rock Mayor and Council are permitted to act as lead
agency, and, in that capacity, and consistent with applicable rules,
solicit proposals for electric generation service and/or other energy
aggregation services on behalf of Borough residents, and enter into
a contract for such services, provided that the lowest qualified bid
price is below the prevailing price for utility-provided basic generation
service.
The Glen Rock Mayor and Council are permitted to act as a member
agency, and, in that capacity, and consistent with applicable rules,
another agency, acting as lead agent, will solicit proposals for electric
generation service and/or other energy aggregation services on behalf
of the Government Energy Aggregation Program, and enter into a contract
for such services. The Mayor and Council shall then be permitted to
enter into a contract with said lead agency, provided that the lowest
qualified bid price is below the prevailing price for utility-provided
basic generation service.
The Glen Rock Mayor and Council will authorize the execution
of a master performance agreement that will obligate the participants
in the Government Energy Aggregation Program to purchase electricity
or gas at terms and conditions stated therein with a third-party supplier
who has been awarded the contract by the lead agency on behalf of
participating members of the Government Energy Aggregation Program,
and provided that such contract shall be at prices reasonably forecast
and estimated by the Glen Rock Mayor and Council to provide savings
to participants relative to the price charged for basic generation
service by PSE&G. If acting as a member agency, and not lead agency,
the Mayor and Council shall be authorized to enter into an agreement
with another Government Energy Aggregation Program should the same
be in the best interests of the residents of the Borough of Glen Rock
and follow the same policy as if the Borough were the lead agency.
The authorization provided under any master performance agreement
or Government Energy Aggregation Program shall be established by contract
and will be subject to renewal at the discretion of the Glen Rock
Mayor and Council.
