BCI Investigation Closed: The Ross Township Board of Trustees is pleased to announce that BCI has completed their investigation. The Board felt it was necessary to initiate this inquiry with a fair and impartial party. For the purpose of openness and transparency, we wanted the residents of Ross Township to be confident that their precious tax dollars are being spent and overseen, wisely. The findings of BCI and the Butler County Prosecutors office are that there is no evidence of any wrong doing and the case is closed.   In the words of  Butler County Prosecutor, Mike Gmoser,  quote   “This is a tempest in a teapot. The investigation is over. Case closed.”   Any recommendations from the BCI investigation will be given the strongest possible consideration so that moving forward, we, along with the Fiscal Officer, the Township Administrator and the department heads can keep Ross Township a great place to live and work.

Watch for Community Electric Aggregation Opt Out Letters

Those residents eligible for Ross Township’s community electric aggregation program will be receiving opt out letters in the mail during the next few days. As a reminder, residents voted in favor of government aggregation, a program authorizing local officials to purchase electricity from a retail electric generation supplier certified by the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Only those currently on Duke Energy’s default generation supply are eligible. If you are already with a third party supplier you will not receive a letter.  

If you are currently on Duke Energy’s default supply you will see these 4 riders on your Duke Energy bill:
Retail Energy Rider (RE)
Retail Capacity Rider (RC)
Alternative Cost Reconciliation Rider (AERR)
Supplier Cost Reconciliation Rider (SCR)

The opt out deadline is April 15, 2024.

Community members with questions regarding the electric aggregation program should contact Energy Harbor directly at 1-866-636-3749, Monday – Friday, 8 m to 5 pm.
