EAST PROVIDENCE, RI – The East Providence City Council unanimously approved a resolution on Tuesday authorizing Mayor Bob DaSilva to enter into a contract with Constellation NewEnergy Inc., an Exelon company and one of the leading energy suppliers in the nation.
The resolution, sponsored by Council President Robert Britto, enables the city of East Providence to take advantage of municipal savings through the Rhode Island Energy Aggregation Program, a program administered by the Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns.
The program enables municipalities to negotiate lower electricity rates, energy efficiency options, green power procurement and more. The move will save the City more than $221,000 over the three-year contract.
“Our administration continuously seeks opportunities that will benefit our City while providing relief to our taxpayers and this contract with Constellation NewEnergy will enable us to do just that,” Mayor DaSilva said. “We look forward to working with Constellation Energy.”
