Town of Medfield Opens Public Review Period for Revised Electricity Aggregation Plan
Medfield, MA – (April 1, 2026) – The Town of Medfield is holding a 30-day public review period for its revised aggregation plan for Medfield Community Electricity. Medfield Community Electricity is our Town’s official electricity supply program, active since June 2024.
The aggregation plan describes how our electricity program is structured and operated. Medfield secured approval for our original aggregation plan from the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) in January 2024. In July 2024, the DPU issued new rules for aggregation plans, called “Guidelines for Municipal Aggregators”. The Guidelines expand local authority for cities and towns concerning the operation of their programs and increase public transparency about program operations. The revisions to our aggregation plan ensure that the plan aligns with the new Guidelines.
The revised Plan allows the Town to update its format without lengthy DPU approval, strengthens annual performance reporting, and expands flexibility to introduce new supply options.
On the program website, electricity.medfield.net, you can review both the revised plan and the current plan. The program website has a comment form to provide written comments, or you may email
“support_ma@goodenergy.com,” with the subject line “Medfield Plan Comments.” Good Energy is the consultant that developed and manages our program on a day-to-day basis. The public review period is open until April 30, 2026.
