Fall River CEA is our City’s official electricity supply program, active since 2016. The aggregation plan describes how our electricity program is structured and operated. Fall River secured approval for our original aggregation plan from the Department of Public Utilities (DPU) in 2015. 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 our aggregation plan ensure that the plan aligns with the new Guidelines. The revised plan will not impact Fall River CEA’s current electricity supply options and prices which are fixed until November 2025 through our supply contract with Constellation. No action is required by existing participants to continue receiving the current pricing. On the program website, MassCEA.com/Fall-River, you can review both the revised plan and the current plan. You can also watch a short video describing the revised plan and read the DPU Guidelines. The program website has a comment form to provide written comments, or you may email “[email protected]” with the subject line “Fall River Plan Comments.” Good Energy is the consultant that developed and manages our program on a day-to-day basis. The public review period is open until January 13, 2025.Media Release - Revised Aggregate Plan City of Fall River - Immediate ReleaseRevised Aggregation Plan (PDF)
