New Pact Approved

Defiance County commissioners approve a new contract for electricity supplied to county facilities. The pact with Dynegy was OK’d following discussions with Amy Hoffman of Palmer Energy. She is a consultant with the County Commissioners Association of Ohio and assists county commissioners in approving new electric contracts that allow savings on power supplies by those participating in the programs. The new agreement is up for renewal in May. Requests for proposals from power suppliers were sent to 10 companies, with eight responding, officials say.
