Town Of Bedford: Community Power Plan Booked

Press release from the Town of Bedford:

The Town of Bedford is hosting two Public Hearings on the draft Bedford Community Power plan on November 21, 2024, and December 19, 2024, at 7:00 pm at the Bedford Meeting Room, 10 Meetinghouse Road, Bedford, NH.

Residents and taxpayers are encouraged to attend to learn about the proposed plan to create Bedford Community Power. The aim of the program is to help electricity customers save money on the supply of their electricity. The public hearings are part of the preparations for bringing a warrant article on Bedford Community Power to Town meeting in the spring.

The Bedford Town Council established the Bedford Community Power Electric Aggregation Committee to pursue potential electric cost savings for residents and taxpayers that may come from electricity aggregation under RSA 53-E, also known as the Community Power Law.

Under Community Power programs, electric distribution utilities continue to own and operate and maintain the power lines and infrastructure while local communities gain control over the cost of their energy and where it is sourced from.

Information about Community Power programs is available at www.CommunityPowerNH.gov and www.cpcnh.org.
