The Poughkeepsie City Council authorized JouleCommunity to act as their program administrator for an opt-out municipal aggregation (aka Community Choice Aggregation or CCA)

JouleCommunity was selected via an RFP

JouleCommunity Power said that of the 70+ New York State municipalities that have passed local laws authorizing them to establish CCAs, "Poughkeepsie is the first to deploy a competitive, two-round process including a cross-departmental review, to select its CCA administrator."

As a result of Poughkeepsie's RFP, JouleCommunity said that, "municipalities that want to proceed quickly but also value the prudence of a rigorous RFP approach, can now expedite CCA deployment by 'piggybacking' on Poughkeepsie's process for selecting an administrator."

Poughkeepsie will now conduct public outreach and enter rate negotiations with suppliers for its CCA
