Green aggregation
More renewable energy for everyone
Increasingly, communities in Massachusetts recognize that a green aggregation offers a powerful tool for achieving sustainability goals, in addition to providing price stability and the potential for savings.

Integrate local renewable energy projects
If you have a local solar or wind project, your aggregation gives you a way to integrate the electricity it produces into your city or town electricity supply.

Most electricity suppliers that serve aggregations are willing to purchase these local RECs, provided they are offered at a market price and provided someone helps them to negotiate their purchase.
We have experience helping to negotiate these local purchases for multiple communities. We would be happy to help your community to say it uses the electricity it produces.
