The Town of Hopkinton is developing a consumer-friendly electricity program called Hopkinton Power Choice. The program is an electricity aggregation, which is a group electricity purchasing program for Hopkinton residents and businesses. Through Hopkinton Power Choice, the Town will use its collective buying power to give residents and businesses greater control over the cost and environmental impact of their electricity supply. Eversource will continue to deliver electricity to Hopkinton without interruption and handle billing.
While Hopkinton Power Choice will not be able to guarantee lower prices compared with Eversource’s electricity supply prices, the Town will work toward providing prices that are competitive and stable.
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 available for review and comment before beginning that regulatory review process.
The draft Aggregation Plan for Hopkinton Power Choice will be available for public review and comment from August 8, 2024 until September 9, 2024. Those interested in reviewing the Plan can download it from the Sustainability and Economic Development page of the Town website or obtain hard copies at the table by the entrance of Town Hall at 18 Main St Hopkinton, MA.
Hopkinton residents and business owners are encouraged to review the draft Plan and submit written comments via email to jchun@hopkintonma.gov or via US Mail to 18 Main St Hopkinton, MA. Comments sent by mail must be received (not postmarked) by the end of the comment period in order to be addressed.
An overview of the draft Hopkinton Power Choice Aggregation Plan will be presented on August 15, 2024 at 7:00-8:00 PM in the lower level of Town Hall. Information about participating can be found on the website.
