Northborough Power Choice ensures seamless electricity service with National Grid

The Northborough Power Choice Public Forum held on March 27, 2025, focused on the benefits and structure of the town's electricity aggregation program. The meeting aimed to inform residents about how the program operates and its implications for consumers.

One of the key points discussed was the seamless integration of the Northborough Power Choice program into residents' existing electricity service. Participants were reassured that their primary relationship for electricity would remain with National Grid. This means that National Grid will continue to deliver electricity, handle outages, and manage billing without any additional fees or changes for consumers.

Residents were also informed that those eligible for discounts from National Grid, such as low-income discounts, would still receive these benefits while participating in the Northborough Power Choice program. This aspect of the program aims to ensure that all residents can benefit from the aggregation without losing existing support.

Overall, the forum highlighted the program's goal of providing residents with more choices and potential savings on their electricity costs while maintaining the familiar service structure they currently have. The next steps for the program will involve continued outreach to ensure all residents are informed and engaged in the process.
