Electric Aggregation
The Village of Greenview is a member of Central Illinois Municipal Aggregation or CIMA, a group of 22 communities that have banded together to better negotiate competitive electric pricing for Ameren residential and small commercial accounts (less than 15,000 kWh annual usage).
The new fixed rate price for Greenview is $0.10899/kWh.
This rate will be locked in for 12 months starting with the June 2025 meter read. This rate does not apply to delivery or other charges.
Ameren's rate:
| SUMMER (JUNE 1, 2025 - SEPTEMBER 30, 2025) | |
|---|---|
| 12.18 cents per kWh | 0 - 800 kWh |
| x cents per kWh | > 800 kWh |
Ameren's rate could fluctuate in price within the next year, while the aggregate negotiated price will remain steady for one year. Caution: If you opt out of Greenview's negotiated aggregate pricing, you must wait one year to opt back in.
