Special to The Advocate
The City of Revere is developing a consumer-friendly electricity program called Revere Power Choice. The program is an electricity aggregation, which is a group electricity purchasing program for Revere residents and businesses. Through Revere Power Choice, the City will use its collective buying power to give residents and businesses greater control over the cost and environmental impact of their electricity supply. National Grid will continue to deliver electricity to Revere without interruption and handle billing. While Revere Power Choice will not be able to guarantee lower prices compared with National Grid’s electricity supply prices, the City will work toward providing prices that are competitive and stable.
Before launching the program, the City must develop an Aggregation Plan and submit it to state regulators for review and approval. To ensure the public has an opportunity to be a part of developing this program, the City is making its draft Aggregation Plan available for review and comment before beginning that regulatory review process. The draft Aggregation Plan for Revere Power Choice will be available for public review and comment from September 9 until October 9, 2024. Those interested in reviewing the Plan can download it from the City of Revere website (Revere.org) or obtain hard copies from the Department of Planning & Community Development in Revere City Hall (Mezzanine floor).
Revere residents and business owners are encouraged to review the draft Plan and submit written comments via email to Abderezak Azib (aazib@revere.org) or via U.S. Mail to: Revere Department of Planning & Community Development, 281 Broadway, Revere MA 02151. Comments sent by mail must be received (not postmarked) by the end of the comment period in order to be addressed.
An overview of the draft Revere Power Choice Aggregation Plan will be presented during the September 9 City Council meeting, which begins at 6:00 p.m. and will be held on the second floor of Revere City Hall (281 Broadway, Revere, Mass.).
