Letters are hitting mailboxes around Columbus explaining big changes to electricity service in the city, thanks to a local ballot measure approved by voters last year.
Starting in June, the city’s default energy supplier will begin relying on 100% renewable sources. That means unless consumers opt out, their home is going to be getting a bit greener.
The changeover comes from the passage of Issue 1 in November, a measure known as a community choice aggregation initiative essentially, the community deciding to pool its buying power to attract an energy supplier.
Columbus had some significant asks of a potential supplier: All energy would have to come from renewable sources, there was a strong preference for building new power generation facilities, and the company would have to partner with the city on a workforce development program.
