All Windsor residents and businesses are eligible to join the electricity Municipal Aggregation Plan. This plan enables the Town to combine the purchasing power of its residents and businesses to provide them with an alternative to Eversource Basic Service (M.G.L. c. 164, § 134). This is a voluntary program. For an up-to-date comparison of the rates offered through the Plan versus the Eversource basic rate, click on this link. Additional information is available from the Green Committee.

We have been notified by Colonial Power that, beginning in February 2025 and extending for a few months, the municipal aggregation rate for Windsor will actually be higher than the Eversource basic rate. Eversource will be 0.11719  ($/kWh) compared to Colonial 0.12520 ($/kWh). This will possibly change in the spring after a new round of bidding. For those interested in opting out of municipal aggregation for that period of time, please visit https://colonialpowergroup.com/windsor/ or contact Mark Cappadona at Colonial Power--508-485-5858.
