Bill overview
This bill aimed to give Massachusetts towns and cities more options when purchasing electricity. It would have allowed municipalities and cooperatives to establish or join municipal lighting plants, potentially increasing competition and offering residents more affordable electricity choices. The bill sought to move away from reliance on large, regional utility companies. Ultimately, the bill failed to pass.
