Dear fellow Hanoverians:<\/p>\n
The Town of Hanover is amped to announce the May 2025 launch of Hanover
\nEnergy Choice, a new group electricity buying program.<\/p>\n
The Town signed a contract with Gridwealth Electric that will provide
\nsavings compared to National Grid\u2019s residential and commercial prices at
\nlaunch and 30 months of stable electricity supply prices until November
\n2027.<\/p>\n
Hanover Energy Choice participants will automatically receive an
\nelectricity supply price of 13.107 \u00a2\/kWh, which is more than 10% below
\nNational Grid\u2019s current residential supply price of 14.672 \u00a2\/kWh and
\nalso below National Grid\u2019s commercial price of 13.409 \u00a2\/kWh. (National
\nGrid\u2019s prices are in effect through July 31. Future prices are unknown,
\nso savings beyond July 31 cannot be guaranteed.)<\/p>\n
Two additional program options will be available by request, both with
\nprices below National Grid\u2019s current residential price. Participants can
\nchoose to receive a total of 47% of their electricity from renewable
\nsources in the New England region (27% MA Class I RECs required by state
\nlaw plus an additional 20% added by Hanover) for 13.897 \u00a2\/kWh or to
\nreceive 100% of their electricity from renewable sources for 14.300 \u00a2\/kWh.<\/p>\n
Hanover Town Manager, Joe Colangelo, remarked, \u201cHanover Energy Choice is
\nan exciting opportunity to enhance affordability for Hanover residents and
\nbusinesses and most importantly hedge against unexpected price spikes as
\nour rates are locked-in and stabilized for the next 30-months.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vanessa O’Connor, Select Board Chair, commented, “Providing residents with
\nthe option to choose up to 100% of their electricity supply from renewable
\nenergy sources is important to the Select Board and the residents and
\nbusiness owners of Hanover. By supporting a sustainable energy supply
\noption within the Hanover Energy Choice program, residents can reduce
\ngreenhouse emissions, combat climate change, and improve public health.\u201d<\/p>\n
Like all similar programs across the state and in accordance with state
\nlaw, Hanover Energy Choice will use an automatic enrollment model, though
\nparticipation will not be required. Electricity accounts with National
\nGrid\u2019s Basic Service, meaning accounts that do not have a private
\nelectricity supply contract, will be eligible for automatic enrollment in
\nHanover Energy Choice in May. <\/p>\n
Eligible account holders will receive a notification by mail in March but
\ncan choose to opt out if they do not wish to participate. Electricity
\naccounts with a private electricity supply contract will not be eligible
\nfor automatic enrollment but can enroll in Hanover Energy Choice by
\nrequest. <\/p>\n
The firm of MassPowerChoice is assisting the town in the development and
\nimplementation of the program. Paul Gromer, CEO of MassPowerChoice, said,
\n“MassPowerChoice is delighted to support Hanover in launching and operating
\nHanover Energy Choice. Our role is to provide support behind the scenes to
\nkeep the program running smoothly for the town, and our customer support
\nteam is ready to help address any questions or concerns.” <\/p>\n
