Hanover Community Power Update

The launch of Hanover Community Power (HCP) was featured in the Winter 2023 issue of the Sustainable Hanover Newslettter  HCP offers four electricity supply options with 23.4%, 33%, 50%, or 100% renewable content.  Most members were automatically enrolled in Granite Plus (33% renewable) but were encouraged to consider to opt up to the 50% or 100%. options. In July Sustainable Hanover announced that the utilities and HCP would be lowering rates for the 6 month period beginning August 1, with HCP’s default rate still cheaper that Liberty or Eversource. The announcement encouraged HCP customers to consider applying the new savings to opt up CLEAN 50 or CLEAN 100.  Based on early data, Co-chair Yolanda  Baumgartner sent an email to members of Sustainable Hanover,  “. . . if you are wondering whether our opt-up campaign since the initial launch has had any impact, the answer is YES! Comparing enrollments on Aug 1 vs May 30, the combined total in Clean 50 and 100 went up by 19% (combined totals from 137 to 163). Hopefully, these numbers will rise steadily as we move forward.”  Please consider opting up now by clicking here and then scrolling down to the section “Electricity Supply Choices.
