Our Warrant Article PASSED at Town Meeting on March 16th!
​​
The NH PUC has APPROVED Mason's Community Power Plan! ​
​​​​​
Mason Community Power is up and running NOW. Most Eversource customers are automatically enrolled. Net metered customers are opted out. ​​
​
This is the Warrant Article that passed:
Version One of Mason's Community Power Plan can be found here:
There are generally two main reasons towns resort to Community Power: first to reduce rates and second to have more renewable energy options available.
​
Typically a town would have a plan that has multiple options to choose from including an option to "opt out" of Community Power.
Even though it may not save a lot of money, Community Power gives a community more control over sourcing and can give consumers the opportunity to choose renewable energy.
​
While renewal energy sources maybe a bit more expensive at first, it is NOT because it is not available it is because the demand is so high!
There are a two brokers or services that Mason is considering for assistance with Community Power:
Standard Power and Community Power Coalition of NH (CPCNH).
