Helping Towns Save Energy and Money

Cape Light Compact works with the 21 member towns to implement energy efficiency measures in new and existing schools, town offices, police and fire stations, parking areas and other public facilities, as well as procure power supply through a competitive bid process.

By reducing electricity use the municipal energy efficiency projects generate substantial savings for towns. State of the art energy efficient technology also enhances the comfort and productivity of workspaces in these facilities. The Compact regularly engages with and provides technical assistance for the Green Communities program through the MA Department of Energy Resources. Learn more about municipal energy efficiency project case studies below.

Our competitive bid process for power supply provides municipalities and other municipal entities a fixed-price electric rate to ensure town operating costs are predictable while remaining competitive with market rates.

The Compact periodically acts as agent on behalf of its member town municipal governments and other municipal entities to negotiate a Competitive Electric Supply Agreement for power supply. This bid process ensures towns receive a competitive, fixed rate on their electricity, offering predictable operating costs. If you are a town employee with questions regarding your current supply contract or a future bid process, please contact Mariel Marchand, Power Supply Planner, at:
