Town of Kendall Community Power Program

March 2024

The Town of Kendall is continuing to explore the Town of Kendall Community Power electricity program which enables the Town to provide eligible residents and small businesses with the benefits of renewable electricity supply.

Formed in partnership with Joule Community Power, a division of Joule Assets, Inc., Town of Kendall Community Power is a Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) program that enables the Town to pool local electricity demand in order to leverage the collective buying power of residents and small businesses in an effort to secure more favorable terms on electricity supply, protect consumers, and support renewable generation sources.

In spring 2024, the Town will be presented with prices and the option to select between a fixed-rate or a variable-rate offer. Market conditions, including price volatility and the need to maximize the availability of renewable electricity supply may lead to the variable-rate offer providing the best value to residents and small businesses.

If the Town selects a supplier and offering, all eligible residents and small businesses will be notified by letter in summer 2024 of the details, their choices and how to opt.  Participants can opt-out or opt back into the program at any time with no penalty by phone or online form. By participating in the program, residents and small businesses can access competitively priced electricity supply with no individual contract and their utility provider, National Grid, will not change.

Join an upcoming public information session to learn more. These sessions will provide general information, explain the benefits of participation by our residents and small businesses, and answer your questions.

Additional information sessions will occur in 2024 if the Town signs a contract for CCA electricity supply. Information on upcoming information sessions can be found here: https://www.joulecommunitypower.com/kendalltown
