Lower Rates. More Choices.
Walpole Community Power expands energy choices for our Town's residents and businesses, while lowering costs.
In 2022, the Walpole voters adopted the Walpole Community Power Plan at Town Meeting.
We are now putting that plan to action to create short- and long-term benefits for the people of Walpole.
How Community Power Works
Walpole Community Power combines the buying power of residents and businesses so that together we can achieve competitively priced electricity. Customers are always free to choose to buy power from Liberty Utilities, or from another market option, by submitting notice in advance of their next utility meter read date.
By accessing the power market, we can control price volatility and choose which energy sources to buy or build.
Source
Walpole Community Power purchases electricity from the sources you choose.
Delivery
Liberty delivers the electricity using the same power line infrastructure and billing mechanisms.
Community
Walpole Energy Customers save money and have the power to choose new rates and products, and how much electricity comes from renewable sources.
Electricity markets are changing. Customers are generating their own power and adopting new technologies that add value to our energy portfolio.
Walpole Community Power will harness that value, and empower customers to create a more innovative and cost-effective energy future.
