Executive Summary:
As previously discussed with City Council, the current “Power Purchase and Sale
Agreement” ends December 31, 2016. The current agreement covers the City of Geneva
power requirements, not covered by the Northern Illinois Municipal Power Agency,
Waste Management Recoverable Energy or the Geneva Generation Facility.
The proposed Power Purchase and Sale Agreement for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019,
has an average price per MWh that is about 4% less than the original price of the current
agreement and is about 7% below the ceiling price previously discussed with the City
Council. The proposed agreement is designed to meet the power requirements, not
covered by the other City of Geneva power resources. In addition, the City was able to
renegotiate the current agreements for 2015 and 2016 for a savings of $301,046 over the
18 month period from June 2015 through December 2016.
