The following was submitted by the Town of Winchester:
The Town of Winchester is holding a 30-day public review period for its revised aggregation plan for WinPower.
WinPower is the town’s official electricity supply program, active since July 2017.
The aggregation plan describes how the electricity program is structured and operated. Winchester secured approval for the original aggregation plan from the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) in April 2017.
In July 2024, the DPU issued new rules for aggregation plans, called “Guidelines for Municipal Aggregators.” The guidelines expand local authority for cities and towns concerning the operation of their programs and increase public transparency about program operations. The revisions to the aggregation plan ensure that the plan aligns with the new guidelines.
The revised plan allows the town to update its format without lengthy DPU approval, strengthens annual performance reporting, and expands flexibility to introduce new supply options.
On the program website, WinPowerMA.com, you can review both the revised plan and the current plan. The program website has a comment form to provide written comments, or you may email Support_ma@goodenergy.com with the subject line “Winchester Plan Comments.”
Good Energy is the town’s consultant that developed and manages our program on a day-to-day basis. The public review period is open until Oct. 31, 2026.
