Hunterdon Area Energy Cooperative (HAEC)
Program Announcement

Dear Borough of Califon Resident:                                                                                                                        January 2021

The Hunterdon Area Energy Cooperative (HAEC) was established in 2018 for the purpose of offering residents
reduced electricity supply rates by purchasing electricity in bulk for several municipalities through a Community
Energy Aggregation Program. The HAEC originally started with three towns, including the Borough of Califon,
and has grown over the past two years to 16 towns in four counties.
I am proud to announce that as a result of the HAEC’s recent energy auction
on June 16, 2020, the Borough of Califon, as Lead Agency for the cooperative,
awarded a 9-month contract to IDT Energy, Inc. beginning in March 2021.
Municipalities participating in the HAEC thought it was important to add
renewable options to this next round of the CEA program, so in addition to the
reduced rate of $0.0867/kWh (referred to as the “Standard Option”), this new
CEA program offers residents the option to select 100% Renewable Energy
(referred to as the “Green Option”) for fractions of a penny more at
$0.0878/kWh.
The following pages contain additional information about the HAEC’s new
CEA program, and we have also scheduled public information sessions so that
everyone can learn more and get their questions answered. Unfortunately, due
to current restrictions on in-person gatherings indoors, the information sessions
and subsequent video recordings can only be accessed online.

Community Energy Aggregation
is different from other third-party
supply contracts and offers
protections to you that individual
contracts may not offer:
• the program rate is the same
from month-to-month
• the ability to leave the program
at ANY TIME without
penalties or fees
