The Town of Northborough is developing a consumer-friendly electricity program called Northborough Power Choice. The program is an electricity aggregation, which is a kind of group electricity purchasing program for Northborough residents and businesses.
Through Northborough Power Choice, the Town will use its collective buying power to provide new electricity choices that give Northborough electricity customers greater control over the price and environmental impact of the electricity they use. While Northborough Power Choice will not be able to guarantee lower prices compared with National Grid’s Basic Service prices, the Town is committed to working toward providing prices that are competitive and stable for the long term.
In launching Northborough Power Choice, Northborough will join more than 170 other cities and towns in Massachusetts with similar programs. Northborough is targeting 2025 for program launch.
