Reply to comment by Ksevio in PSA: if you're concerned about electric costs rising, see if your town is part of a municipal aggregation program by tzigane

Lower prices are in great part due to the Massachusetts Municipal Electric Wholesale Electric Company owning a significant portion of the Seabrook NH Nuclear Power Plant: 11.59%, on behalf of many municipal power and light companies in Massachusetts.
