TOWN OF SCITUATE BOARD OF SELECTMEN NOTICE OF PUBLIC REVIEW AND PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING AGGREGATION PLAN
Public Review Period from August 7– September 3, 2019
Public Hearing Tuesday, September 3, 2019 at 7:15 PM
Scituate Town Hall, Selectmen’s Chambers

At our Special Town Meeting on November 14, 2019, the residents voted to authorize the Board of Selectmen to research, develop and implement an aggregation program and enter into a contract with a competitive supplier of electricity.
The objectives of the aggregation program are to:
- Lower the cost of electricity (although savings are not guaranteed);
- Gain longer term price stability; and
- Offer more renewable energy options.
The aggregation plan will go through a very strict and comprehensive review and approval process with the Department of Energy Resources (DOER) and the Department of Public Utilities (DPU).
An important element of the process leading to approval of the aggregation plan of a municipality by the DPU is to allow for review of the aggregation plan by its residents. The aggregation plan is available below or for review in the Board of Selectmen Office.
Please review the aggregation plan and submit any comments or questions in writing to the Board of Selectmen Office, 600 Chief Justice Cushing Highway, Scituate, MA 02066, during the review period of August 7, 2019 – September 3, 2019 or attend the Public Hearing September 3, 2019 at 7:15 PM to offer comments orally. This public review period will be completed before the aggregation plan is submitted to the DPU for their review and approval.
