The 30-second read

Recorded outcome

The Naperville Public Utilities Advisory Board held a special meeting to hear public feedback regarding a proposed energy contract with the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency (IMEA). Community members and advocacy groups raised concerns about the long-term financial and environmental implications of the contract, urging the board to consider alternative energy procurement options.

Why it matters

The board is evaluating whether to enter a 30-year energy supply contract with IMEA, which would dictate the city's power sources, environmental impact, and electricity costs for residents and businesses through 2055.

C. PUBLIC FORUM:

FERNANDO ARRIOLA

My name is Fernando Arriola, I am the Community Relations Chair for Nest. I

have two messages today. One message is from NEST, and one is from me. So, I

am putting on the NEST hat to kick this baby off. You will be hearing from a

variety of members of the Naperville Environment and Sustainability Task

Force/NEST and Say No to Coal Consortium tonight from the public comment

period.

Our goal tonight is to respond to the CES report and last week’s IMEA

presentation addressing areas that require further investigation and questions

that require answers. Like PUAB, NEST are advisors to the City of Naperville. We

have been a trusted partner with the city and our advice to slow down and not

sign the proposed IMEA contract has been embraced by our elected officials.

We have built this trust, because we bring expertise, we do extensive research,

and we back our advice with evidence, and we have the best interest of the

community at heart. Together NEST, PUAB, community members, city staff and

city council can chart a path forward that is both physically and environmentally

responsible.

As the speakers address you this evening, our leadership team is happy to

answer any questions. If we do not have an immediate response, we will get back

to you.
