Borough of Califon
Hunterdon Area Energy Cooperative (HAEC) Program Announcement |
July 2024
Dear Borough of Califon Resident:
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 six years to 18 towns in five counties. Savings to residents through the HAEC Community Energy Aggregation Program totaled over $1.6 million between March 2019 and December 2021.
I am proud to announce that as a result of the HAEC’s recent energy auction on May 22, 2024, the Borough of Califon, as Lead Agency for the cooperative, awarded a 15-month contract to IDT Energy, Inc., beginning in September 2024. Municipalities participating in the HAEC thought it was important to continue offering renewable options in this next round of the CEA program, so in addition to the reduced rate of $0.1119/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 $0.1176/kWh.
The following pages contain additional information about the HAEC’s new CEA program, and we have also scheduled a public information session so that everyone can learn more and get their questions answered:

In addition, a program video has been posted to the HAEC Program’s web page at https://njaggregation.us/haec.
As always, residents can call the HAEC’s energy consultants toll free at 866-688-5197 with any questions about the CEA program, to opt-out of the program, and to opt-up to the Green Option.
Sincerely,
Charles Daniel, Mayor
