Spencer Electricity Aggregation

The Town of Spencer is developing an electricity program to bring stable electricity prices to the community

SPENCER, MA. The Town of Spencer is developing a consumer-friendly electricity program called Spencer Electric Choice. The program is an electricity aggregation, which is a group electricity purchasing program for Spencer residents and businesses. Through Spencer Electric Choice, the Town will use its collective buying power to lock in long-term electricity supply prices that will not change seasonally. While Spencer Electric 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.

When the program launches, electricity customers in Spencer will see a change in the price that is used to calculate the Supply Services portion of their National Grid electric bill, which is the part of the bill where we pay for the electricity we use. National Grid will continue to deliver electricity to Spencer and handle billing without interruption.

Before launching the program, the Town must develop an Aggregation Plan and submit it to state regulators for review and approval. To ensure the public has an opportunity to be a part of developing this program, the Town is making its draft Aggregation Plan and associated documents available for review and comment before beginning that regulatory review process.

Public comments welcomed

The draft Aggregation Plan for Spencer Power Choice will be available for public review and comment from April 17, 2024, until May 20, 2024.
