通讯员 据原油新闻3月1日消息称，俄勒冈市议会最近批准了一项客户供应协议，作为西北俄亥俄州联合联盟(NOAC)的一部分，该协议将向住宅和小型商业客户提供天然气。
自2000年以来，该市一直是俄亥俄州公用事业委员会(PUCO)认证的政府联合机构，多年来为住宅和小型商业用户提供了各种项目。
根据目前的合同，该市在NOAC以及几个邻近社区的会员，估计为所有NOAC的住宅和小型商业参与者节省110万美元。
行政长官Mike Beazley在周一的会议上说：“多年来，俄勒冈州一直是天然气和电力联合联盟的一部分。我们对居民的工作方式感到非常满意。这是政府为数不多的能把钱放进居民口袋的事情之一。通过这种伙伴关系，我们确实为该地区的人们节省了数千万美元。”
NOAC当前与Volunteer Energy的协议将于2021年5月到期。NOAC的能源顾问Palmer Energy最近向11个供应商发布了针对住宅和小型商业客户的建议书请求。NOAC收到了五份为俄勒冈州的住宅和小型商业客户提供低成本天然气的提案。

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.
