Community Power Committee

The Rindge Board of Selectmen resolved to form a Community Power Committee on November 1, 2023. The goal is to explore options and educate the Town on the possible opportunities to save money on electricity rates. Under RSA:53E, municipalities are authorized to aggregate and purchase power as a community to negotiate lower rates.   The specific language reads: “The governing body of a municipality or county may form an electric aggregation committee to develop a plan for an aggregation program for its citizens.  A municipality or county may join other municipalities or counties in developing such plans.  A county plan may provide an aggregation program for all or a subset of municipalities within the county that request to participate by a majority vote of their respective governing bodies.”
