Electricity Expenses by Month for the Past 10 Years (2015-Present)

Robert Cohen made this OPRA request to East Windsor Regional School District Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was refused by East Windsor Regional School District.

Dear East Windsor Regional School District,

Please accept this electronic request for public records made under OPRA and the common law right of access. I am not required to fill out an official form or use a particular software platform to submit my request per NJSA 47:1A-6(f), which states that an email from a requestor including all of the information required on the adopted form shall suffice in place of a completed form as a valid government record request.

I HAVE NOT been convicted of any indictable offense under the laws of New Jersey, any other state, or the United States.

I WILL NOT use the requested government records for a commercial purpose.

I AM NOT seeking records in connection with a legal proceeding.

Records requested:
Please provide the monthly electricity expense totals ($), usage totals (kWh), and rates ($/kWh) incurred by the East Windsor Regional School District for the period of 2015-the most recent month of 2025 for which data is available. Also include notes of any fixed expenses incurred by the district which are independent of electricity usage totals (interconnection fees, etc.), and/or which scale non-linearly with increased consumption (time-of-use rates, or tiered electricity rates based on total usage). If possible, please present the data on an individual school-by-school basis for each of the elementary, middle, and high schools in the district. Thank you!

My preferred delivery method for response(s) to this request is by E-mail as attachments. Please confirm you have received this request. If you are not the custodian of records, please forward my request to that person and provide their email address to me for future reference.

Yours faithfully,
Robert Cohen

Paul Todd, East Windsor Regional School District

Mr. Cohen, I am in receipt of your OPRA request.  The Open Public Records
Act governs the public’s access to specific government records that are
kept in the normal course of business in New Jersey.  OPRA does not
require a custodian to answer questions, conduct research to questions and
format that research into desired reports.  In addition, OPRA
requests should not be "overally broad", meaning requests that state "any
and all information".
After reviewing your request, I find that you have not asked for specific
documents kept in the normal course of business but is a request for
information.  As a result I am denying your request.
This response will close your OPRA request.

Thank you.

Paul Todd

Business Administrator
