This week the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Department of Public Utilities (DPU) gave final approval to the Town of Medfield’s Community Choice Aggregation (CCA). The DPU had previously given its conditional approval on December 22, 20323, which opinion had telegraphed that final approval was not far behind.
Next steps include selecting the electricity provider for the town residents. Once operational, residents should save by getting electricity at a lower price as a result of leveraging the buying power of contracting for all town residents together, with options for residents to select even greener electricity.
Per the town website – “On the Medfield Community Electricity (MCE) website – electricity.medfield.net – you can read more in-depth information about the program and follow the program development timeline.”
Huge thanks should go to Bob Winograd, the Chair of the Medfield Community Choice Aggregation Committee for steering the town through the lengthy DPU process (a process designed for much larger projects), and to the Medfield Energy Committee for initiating the CCA idea.
