SOUTHWICK — It will be a few more months before the town will open enrollment for the town’s municipal aggregation program because of an unexpected dip in the rate Eversource is currently charging its electricity customers.
“It’s just not advantageous right now with a better rate out there,” Chief Administrative Officer Nicole Parker said as the reason the town is holding off on starting the program right now.
In December, the town was notified by the state’s Department of Public Utilities that it had approved the plan it developed with Colonial Power Group to negotiate with competitive suppliers to lock in electric rates, which have been historically higher than Eversource rate per kilowatt-hour, for periods up to six months through the Southwick Community Choice Power Supply Program,
