My town has a local power buy. Even they are going up a lot.

Oxford MA

EDIT: Exact numbers: Was: 10.316 / kWh Will be: 15.540 / kWh

53.3% increase.

For reference National Grid will be 33.891 / kWh so Oxford price is still crazy better. It just going up, too.

I live in Oxford and I didn't know this.

Is this automatic or do I need to opt-in?

It was years ago and I think I had to opt in.

Cool. We could’ve saved a few hundred a year going to a community trash pickup but “no government buttholes are going to run my life!!!” Loonies showed up at the town hall meeting and screamed it down.

I was pissed. Now we are still stuck with like 5 trash haulers and the rates are terrible and the friggin huge heavy trucks destroy our roads.

People can be so dumb sometimes. Sigh.

Anyway - rant done. Lol. Take care fellow Oxford resident.
