Program Details

What is energy aggregation?

Government Energy Aggregation (GEA) is a program created by the NJ Government Energy Aggregation Act of 2003. It lets municipalities and counties pool residential energy usage to conduct a bulk bid for the lowest possible electricity supply price.

How does the program work?

Only the supply portion of your electric bill changes. Delivery and distribution continue through JCP&L, which still handles outages and account service. All eligible residents are automatically included unless they have a third-party supplier or choose to opt out.
