James Martin named county communications director, commissioners hear from SOPEC

LOGAN — After a round of interviews the week before, Logan City Councilman James Martin was named county communications director during the Hocking County Commissioners meeting on Thursday. The commissioners also heard from Mary Nally, Southeast Ohio regional liaison for the Sustainable Ohio Public Energy Council (SOPEC), who provided an educational brief about the organization. Nally explained that SOPEC provides “simple, valuable and reliable public energy programs that help communities achieve their energy and sustainability goals.” These programs act as an alternative to private for-profit energy brokers. Among these programs is community choice aggregation, which is an optional program that provides energy purchased in bulk to residents and businesses at a fixed rate. SOPEC’s public pricing program acts similarly to community choice aggregation, but is for municipal and government-owned meters. The programs aim to improve energy affordability by making prices per kilowatt hour more competitive, as well as helping limit spikes in costs during high-demand periods. Nally later explained that SOPEC also provides a multitude of services, such as legal services, a grants team to help communities pursue energy goals and advocacy at the state and federal levels. Notably, she spoke about community support funds, which she stated was a
