Carthage will pay less for electricity for city operations beginning next month. The city has signed a three-year contract with Ameren Energy Marketing at a bit more than 4.3 cents per kilowatt-hour.
Mayor Jim Nightingale says the city council solicited bids from several energy companies. He says the response was overwhelming and frustrating.
He says, “Once a company contacts us their sales people just hound you to death.”
