Brighton, N.Y. — It's a sustainable energy showdown in Brighton.
Town Supervisor Bill Moehle said the town is suing so-called renewable energy company Source Power, which he said cost 10,000 Brighton customers more than $1 million in just six months.
"In June of this year, June of 2022, without warning, we were notified that Source was unilaterally terminating their contract and discontinuing providing electricity to Brighton customer as of June 15, 2022," Moehle said.
The town began a two-year contract with Source in December 2020, according to Moehle.
The company claimed it supplied renewable energy, locking customers in at paying 4.29 cents per kilowatt, saving them $1.2 million.
"All CCA customers were automatically switched back to RG&E at a price that was no longer fixed, as the contract had been and was at this point far in excess of that 4.29 cent price that customers had been paying over the last 18 months," Moehle said.
Customers are now paying more than double per kilowatt, having to revert to RG&E, according to Moehle.
The lawsuit also claims Source misled its customers.
"In addition to terminating their contract unilaterally, Source had also misrepresented the town that they were providing renewable source electricity when, in fact, they had not," Moehle said.
The town is suing for millions of dollars. If successful, Moehle said he hopes to bring another renewable energy source to Brighton.
“...paying 4.29 cents per kilowatt...”

Sounds pretty cheap to me.
“..Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Leftists!...”
^THIS^
Exactly....LMAO...whadda bunch of suckers.
But they’ll never learn. They’re wanting to go right back to the “renewable” swill trough.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch of Leftists!
Yep - I was born in Rochester and grew up in Henrietta, which abuts with Brighton - they put the snob in snobalabadingdong
Yep - $5.393 on MS Gulf Coast - and I consider it decent.
The $4.29 was for the “renewable source” and probably artificially low which meant they would be losing money from the get-go...and the town had visons of sugarplums dancing in their heads...
We live about 35 min east of Brighton. Hubby had his own HVAC biz. Windchill is about -12F. We have one 80%er propane forced air furnace, 2 cold weather heat pumps and 2 old school Vermont Castings woodstoves. We have a rectangular 1900 sq foot ranch style house. Guess which heating system we are relying on? LOL.
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly what 0butthead promised.
Correction: Hubby HAS his own hvac biz.
Article does not say “$4.29 per kilowatt”,
it says “4.29 cents per kilowatt”.
You said it nicely...My thoughts would get me banned.
1960 prices
The national average is about 13 cents/kWh. I cannot fathom how they can produce it for less than a nickel in a high cost state like New York.
This reads like it was written by a nine-year-old.

I live in Perinton, with Fairport Municipal Electric (7.68 cents per kWh). The utility negotiates with the the power generators and so-called green energy isn’t part of that equation. Their “green” posturing cost them, in spades. Sure 4.28 is less than what I’m paying, but I am not paying 17.62 cents per kWh like they are paying in Brighton now after this idiocy.
And I agree that Brighton puts the snob in pretty much everything.
25 is the new 9
Austin’s power source is owned by Austin and is called Austin Energy. AE plays with rates and a substantial amount of what they collect from customers is diverted to lefty social scams.
AE owns a 16% interest in South Texas Nuclear and benefits greatly from that power. But, on November 3, 1981, Austin voters voted to SELL their interest in the STNP (per wiki).
Fortunately for the lefties and non lefties in Austin, they have not been able to sell their interest in STNP. Due to inflation, the cost of this plant today vs the seventies-eighties era would be at least five times more.
Remember here in NYS we also have on top of per kilowatt:
Merchant function charge
supply charge
Delivery charge
basic service charge
revenue decoupling mech
SBC charge (welfare/low income fund)
Then taxes on top of all these charges at 2.04%
Wood. It’s good.
I have NYSEG which tacks on:
Merchant function charge
supply charge
Delivery charge
basic service charge
revenue decoupling mech
SBC charge (welfare/low income fund)
Then taxes on top of all these charges at 2.04%
