With the volatility of natural gas prices, Allen County Commissioners are looking at the possibility of asking voters to approve a gas aggregation contract.
More than a decade ago, voters in the unincorporated areas of Allen County approved electric aggregation which has provided savings to consumers. Commissioners believe that gas aggregation could do the same. Several municipalities including Elida and Van Wert have already passed it and commissioners say it is time to look into the possibility.
Allen County Commissioner Cory Noonan says, “This is something that we are definitely interested in. But again, as it moves forward it will be something brought to the voters of Allen County of the unincorporated areas to choose whether or not we have this.”
Noonan says it could be on the ballot this fall. If approved, a resident can still opt-out.
