selected as the supplier for its Community Choice Power Supply Program. This Program is a municipal aggregation which enables local government to combine the purchasing power of its residents and businesses to provide them with an alternative to National Grid
Basic Service. The aggregation rate is $0.10287/kWh, below the November 1, 2020 – April 30, 2021 National Grid Basic Service rate of $0.12388/kWh. Standard supply customers will collectively save over $600,000 in this six-month period. Over the 3-year term
of the agreement, Easton customers will collectively save an estimated $2.2 million in electricity costs.
