MEGA CCA Residential Electricity Program

The Village of Homer is working with MEGA to explore a new program called Community Choice Aggregation (CCA). You and your neighbors increase your individual buying power through a group purchase of electricity.

As a participant in MEGA’s CCA you may:
-save money on your electric bill
-avoid sudden spikes in the price of your electricity
-stop energy telemarketers and door-to- door sales
-get access to renewable ‘green’ energy

Even after our community joins MEGA’s CCA you have the choice to opt-out and stay with the utility for electric supply.  There are also opportunities for customers to opt-in to the CCA Program.  While we do not know the exact price for electricity through the CCA, we will know the price before we  must decide if we will continue our participation in the CCA Program.

How does CCA work? Take a look at ‘MEGA’s CCA 101’ or review the FAQs.

To learn more please visit megacca.org and join us at a public education session at the Community Building: Wednesday, September 27 th 6-7:30pm. Feel free to bring your electric bill.

Questions can be directed to MEGA’s CCA team at megaCCAteam@energynext.com or 518.533.5399.

If you have questions specific to the Village of Homer you should contact Mayor Hal McCabe, the CCA Liaison, at mayormccabe@gmail.com or 607.749.3322.

MEGA, is a not-for- profit local development corporation who serves 35 counties and 240 other municipalities, school districts and small businesses across New York State.
