Local Choice: Why your town leadership chose to participate

Being a part of Rochester Community Power means taking control over your electricity choices by using the collective energy demand of residents and small businesses to:

  1. Negotiate better terms

  2. Choose renewable generation sources.

Personal Choice: What participation means for you 

All eligible residential and small business Rochester Gas & Electric (RG&E) customers are automatically enrolled in Rochester Community Power’s electricity supply offering. RG&E still: 

  1. Delivers your electricity supply  

  1. Provides repair service 

  1. Manages billing—you’ll continue to receive your monthly electricity bill from—and remit payment to—RG&E
