📰 News we're reading

• Barrington energy aggregation program's winter rate on the rise (eastbayri.com) — Barrington residents enrolled in the Community Electricity program will see winter rates rise to 16.929 cents per kilowatt hour, though that's still below Rhode Island Energy's winter supply price. The town program lets you choose higher renewable energy levels, and upcoming bill credits ordered by the state are expected to keep most winter bills at or below summer totals.
