Folks;

The television news is still shouting about $0.12 kWh electrical power rates beginning in September.  Delivery and Transmission charges more than doubles that figure.  However, even that final number is dramatically lower than just a short time ago.

Many independent electrical power aggregation companies have already been enrolling customers here in Milford.

I’m also getting 3 - 5 offers for from solar contractors via email each day.

What might this do to our Community Power Aggregation Plan?   

Reminder about our Thursday, 20 July 2023 meeting, 5:30 p.m., at the Milford Police Department, 19 Garden Street in Milford.  We have  been deferring any other meetings until just before Standard Power/Good Power team receives responses from their Request for Proposals (RFP).  If, as we believe, there is still an opportunity to offer Milford’s residents a savings on their electrical power costs, 20 July appears to be a reasonable time to begin finalizing our plans.

I will publish an agenda and public notice by 10 July 2023.  Please send me your items for discussion to be included in our agenda.

Thanks kindly,

I’m ready to work on our milfordcommunitypower.com site, and will come with a proposed site map / outline. I think this will be important to get online quickly. If Standard Power has model content that would be very helpful.
