Amending Grafton Energy Choice: A Public Discussion

GRAFTON, MA—Town officials are holding an important meeting and public discussion to talk about about amending the Grafton Energy Choice aggregation plan at the Board of Selectmen meeting on April 17 at 7 p.m. at the Municipal Center.

The public is invited to download and review the revised plan, and to submit comments on the revisions either in person at the Board of Selectmen meeting or via email by April 17. Email comments can be sent to grafton@masspowerchoice.com.

As it stands now, the default rate for Grafton customers is 9.104 cents per kilowatt, and 9.707 cents per kilowatt in the 100 percent green energy program.

Green Energy Choice is the town's municipal aggregation program. It's a group purchase by the town on behalf of the residents and businesses geared to bring stability and cost savings to the community. Residents are automatically enrolled in the program, which is shown on the National Grid bill, unless they opt out. That means residents who do not opt out currently have power suppled by Public Power, but the electricity is delivered by National Grid, which also fixes outages and sends out the bills that you hate to pay regardless of the price.
