Learn About the Town Electricity Program

The Town of Westborough will host two public information sessions about the Westborough Community Choice electricity program in January. These events will include an overview of the program and a question and answer session during which Westborough residents and businesses can ask questions. Representatives from both Westborough municipal leadership and from Westborough’s consultants, Peregrine Energy Group, will be in attendance.

Event details are as follows:

- 2:00 PM on Monday, January 11, 2016, at the Westborough Senior Center at 4 Rogers Road in Westborough

- 5:30 PM on Tuesday, January 12, 2016, at the Town Hall at 34 W Main Street in Westborough

The Town of Westborough will launch the Westborough Community Choice program in February 2016 to provide Westborough residents and businesses with a cost-effective, transparent electricity supply alternative to National Grid. Westborough Community Choice is a municipal electricity aggregation. By bulk purchasing electricity for the entire community from Constellation Energy Power Choice, Inc., Westborough has secured a price that will, at program launch, beat the recently announced National Grid Basic Service winter rates by 3.8 cents/kWh.

Westborough Community Choice will launch with an initial 24-month electricity supply contract with Constellation Energy. The program will offer a fixed, stable price of 9.21 cents/kWh for all rate classes, including residential, commercial, and industrial. By offering a consistent price across the 24-month contract, Westborough Community Choice will offer protection from the significant winter and summer fluctuations in National Grid prices.

Those customers who wish to make an even greater commitment to renewable energy will be able to choose the Greener Option for a small premium. The Greener Option will integrate 20% new wind energy over and above state requirements.
