Retail Aggregation Program (RAP)
Access the benefits of the retail electricity market by combining demand with other eligible customers.
What it is
The Retail Aggregation Program (RAP) is one of the Customer Choice Programs that allows multiple eligible customers to combine their electricity demand and participate in the retail electricity market as a group.
Why it exists
Designed to expand access to retail electricity supply, RAP enables customers that may not individually meet the required demand threshold to collectively qualify for the benefits of the retail market. This opens opportunities to access competitive supply arrangements, greater flexibility, and potential cost savings.
Who it suits
The program is particularly beneficial for groups of customers served within the same Distribution Utility (DU) or Electric Cooperative (EC) franchise area, including business establishments, commercial facilities, and organizations with multiple electricity accounts.
How Rockport Power helps
As an ERC-licensed Retail Electricity Supplier (RES), Rockport Power helps customers assess eligibility, form aggregation groups, and navigate the enrollment process from start to finish.
