What is REAP?

The Rhode Island League of Cities and Towns administers the RI Energy Aggregation Program (REAP), which has served as the electricity aggregator to many League members for more than twenty years. The program has used the collective purchasing power of Rhode Island cities and towns to negotiate lower electricity rates and provide budget stability. REAP also provides other advisory services, including energy market analysis, green power procurement, energy efficiency options and solar projects.

The League has a joint REAP service agreement with PowerOptions, a nonprofit consortium that provides energy purchasing, advisory and support services to New England nonprofit and public sector members.

Partnership Feature: PowerOptions and the City of Providence: A Community Energy Success Story

PowerOptions worked with the City of Providence to advance its sustainability and climate goals through data-driven energy management and expert market guidance that reduce costs and emissions. By implementing PowerOptions’ Energy Intelligence Suite (EIS), Providence enhanced utility data management and advanced efficiency and decarbonization priorities, with PowerOptions also supporting the city’s electricity and natural gas procurement. As Providence, RI executes its solar strategy, PowerOptions delivers ongoing market analysis and decision-ready insights to support fiscally responsible progress toward long-term climate objectives.

This collaboration demonstrates how PowerOptions enables communities like Providence to turn energy data into meaningful action and measurable results.
