West Boylston Municipal Light Plant

UPDATE! West Boylston to achieve 80% Clean and Renewable Energy Supply by 2030 — thanks to careful planning and local control by WBMLP's ratepayers!

With 56% of WBMLP's energy supply already clean and renewable at the end of last year, your light plant is already ahead of other electric utilities in meeting state-mandated Greenhouse Gas Emission (GGES) goals. These goals essentially require all MLPs to achieve a 50% clean and renewable energy supply by 2030. The mandate increases to 75% by 2040, and ultimately, Net-Zero GHG emissions by 2050.

How is WBMLP doing it?

• Planning today and securing and integrating more wind, solar, nuclear, and hydroelectricity generation into our energy portfolio now and over time.
• Retiring environmental attributes called RECs from local solar and wind projects.
• Entering into longterm fixed cost contracts for additional clean energy that doesn't emit any GHGs.
• Encouraging our customers to save money and reduce GHG emissions by offering attractive rebates and incentives to electrify their homes with Heat-Pump HVAC Systems, Heat-Pump Hot Water Heaters, Electric Induction Stoves, and Electric Vehicles and EV Chargers.
• Keeping your rates low while accomplishing everything above. WBMLP's low rate of $0.14 per kWh hasn't changed in almost 14 years!
