View Tewksbury's National Grid Aggregation Plan

The town has distributed the plan for public review prior to submitting it to the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities.

Tewksbury officials have released the town’s Community Choice Power Supply Program Aggregation Plan.

The town developed the plan in compliance with Massachusetts law regarding public aggregation of electric consumers. It contains required information on the structure, operations, services, funding, and policies of the town’s plan. The plan has been developed in consultation with an aggregation implementation consultant, initially Colonial Power Group, Inc. (CPG) and the Massachusetts Department of Energy Resources (DOER).

The purpose of this plan is to represent consumer interests in competitive markets for electricity. It seeks to aggregate consumers in the town to negotiate rates for power supply. It brings together the buying power of more than 28,000 consumers. Furthermore, the town seeks to take control of energy prices. Participation is voluntary for each eligible consumer. Eligible consumers have the opportunity to decline service provided through the Plan and to choose any Competitive Supplier they wish. Based on enrollment figures from previous community aggregations, CPG anticipates that 97 percent of the eligible consumers will participate.
