What is Municipal Aggregation? 

Municipal aggregation is a form of group purchasing of electricity supply. In an aggregation, a municipality contracts for an electricity supplier on behalf of its residents and businesses who are on Basic Service with their utility company. 

A municipal aggregation program in Framingham can provide benefits for participants in Framingham such as competitive, long-term pricing and an increase in the amount of renewable energy in the community's electricity supply. 

As a municipal aggregation only impacts the supplier of electricity, residents and businesses that participate will still receive only one bill from the utility (Eversource) and will continue to receive customer services from them in addition to the utility's role in maintaining the poles and wires that bring electricity to homes and businesses.
