Rutland Select Board Public Info Meeting

The meeting provided information about the Rutland Community Electricity program, a municipal aggregation initiative. The presentation detailed the program's structure, which uses a competitive bidding process to select an electricity supplier (Direct Energy). Key topics included the benefits of stable pricing over a 13-month term, the distinction between the electricity delivery and supply portions of the bill, and the three available supply product options (Basic, Standard/Default, and Plus). The session also explained the eligibility criteria for automatic enrollment for National Grid Basic Service customers, the process for opting out, and the outreach efforts made by the town to inform residents about the program.
