Dear fellow Hanoverians:
The Town of Hanover is developing a consumer-friendly electricity program
called Hanover Energy Choice. The program is an electricity aggregation,
which is a group electricity purchasing program for Hanover residents and
businesses. Through Hanover Energy Choice, the Town will use its collective
buying power to lock in long-term electricity supply prices that will not
change seasonally. While Hanover Energy Choice will not be able to
guarantee lower prices compared with National Grid’s Basic Service
prices, the Town is committed to working toward providing prices that are
competitive and stable.
When the program launches, electricity customers in Hanover will see a
change in the price that is used to calculate the Supply Services portion
of their National Grid electric bill, which is the part of the bill where
we pay for the electricity we use. National Grid will continue to deliver
electricity to Hanover and handle billing without interruption.
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 and associated documents available for
review and comment before beginning that regulatory review process. The
draft Aggregation Plan for Hanover Energy Choice will be available for
public review and comment from March 18th to April 17th. Those interested
in reviewing the plan and associated documents may download them from the
Town of Hanover website at

or obtain copies from the Select Board Office in Hanover Town Hall, 550
Hanover Street. Hanover residents and business owners are encouraged to
review the plan and submit written comments via email to
janet.tierney@hanover-ma.gov or via U.S. Mail to: Hanover Town Hall,
Offices of the Select Board and Town Manager, 550 Hanover Street, Attn:
Julie Burke. 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 plan will be presented during the March 18, 2024, Select
Board meeting, which begins at 6:30 p.m. The meeting will be held in a
hybrid format with both in person attendees in the first-floor hearing room
of Hanover Town Hall, 550 Hanover Street, as well as remote attendees via
the Zoom platform.
