Hanover Energy Choice

An Electricity Aggregation Program

Coming in May 2025 HEC 3 Plan Choices

The Town of Hanover has developed 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 competitive and stable prices. Download a two-page program overview to learn more.

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.

Background

At the May 1, 2023, Annual Town Meeting, voters provided the Select Board authority to move municipal aggregation forward, the first necessary step of a multi-step process. The second step was for the Town to retain the services of a consultant/broker who will help Hanover develop a municipal aggregation plan, move the plan through the regulatory approval process, and provide support services once Hanover is enrolled in an aggregation agreement. MassPowerChoice was selected to provide Hanover with consultant/broker services.

Hanover hired MassPowerChoice, LLC, a Massachusetts-based consulting company, to help launch and manage Hanover Energy Choice. MassPowerChoice will provide an array of services to help the town operate the program, including customer support.
