Mahoning commissioners approve electrical aggregation plan

YOUNGSTOWN — Mahoning County commissioners today approved an operations plan for the county’s electrical aggregation program as their consultant prepares to open and review bids from potential electric suppliers.

The commissioners approved the startup plan after voters in nine of the county’s townships approved the aggregation Nov. 3.

Beaver Township Trustee Ted Lyda, president of the Mahoning County Township Association, said he expects the average household will save about $10 a month on its electric bill. Savings also would be achieved by churches, schools and small businesses, Lyda added.

Aggregation brings together large groups to buy electricity at a discounted bulk rate from the same company.
