Rochelle Officials Warn Residents About SmartEnergy Mailer

ROCHELLE – Rochelle Municipal Utilities is warning residents about a mailer from SmartEnergy Holdings, LLC that claims to offer a $100 electricity supply refund. The notice, which is a marketing letter from a retail energy supplier and not a utility, instructs recipients to call a phone number and switch suppliers to receive the refund. Officials caution customers to verify any offers with their actual utility, and to review contract terms, rates, and potential fees before switching. The city notes that the refund is contingent on remaining a SmartEnergy customer for six months and advises that residents treat the mailer as a solicitation rather than an official utility refund. Anyone who has provided personal information is urged to take steps to protect their accounts.
