The program is an electricity aggregation,<br \/>\nwhich is a group electricity purchasing program for Hanover residents and<br \/>\nbusinesses. Through Hanover Energy Choice, the Town will use its collective<br \/>\nbuying power to lock in long-term electricity supply prices that will not<br \/>\nchange seasonally. While Hanover Energy Choice will not be able to<br \/>\nguarantee lower prices compared with National Grid\u2019s Basic Service<br \/>\nprices, the Town is committed to working toward providing prices that are<br \/>\ncompetitive and stable.<\/p>\n<p>When the program launches, electricity customers in Hanover will see a<br \/>\nchange in the price that is used to calculate the Supply Services portion<br \/>\nof their National Grid electric bill, which is the part of the bill where<br \/>\nwe pay for the electricity we use. National Grid will continue to deliver<br \/>\nelectricity to Hanover and handle billing without interruption.<\/p>\n<p>Before launching the program, the Town must develop an Aggregation Plan and<br \/>\nsubmit it to state regulators for review and approval. To ensure the public<br \/>\nhas an opportunity to be a part of developing this program, the Town is<br \/>\nmaking its draft Aggregation Plan and associated documents available for<br \/>\nreview and comment before beginning that regulatory review process.
