Effective January 1, 2024, MMLD customers saw annual adjustments to all metered classes of MMLD's Electric Service Rates. The rate changes are a continuation of our multi-year plan to ensure our rates accurately reflect the findings in our Cost of Service study, undertaken by Utility Financial Solutions LLC, (UFS), a highly reputable, nationally recognized firm located in Holland, Michigan.

To help our customers understand their 2024 rates, we've revised our Rates Page. As always, please let us know if you have any questions by calling us at (781) 631-5600 or send us an email on our Contact Form.
"Go Green Now!" is for customers who are concerned about climate change and want to do something about it. “Go Green Now!” gives you an optional rate opportunity to purchase your electricity from 100% Carbon-free Energy sources.
Customers who opt-in to the “Go Green Now!” rate agree to pay an agreed-upon monthly incremental amount. (And there's always an opt-out option.)
All customers making 12 Green Choice payments in a year will receive written confirmation from MMLD that their prior year energy usage was in fact 100% Carbon-free. And more!

MMLD is a participant in Phase II of the Brodie Mountain Wind Project at one of the windiest sites in the Commonwealth. Construction is complete. Learn more.
MMLD is a municipally-owned electric company that has been totally independent from large regional electric companies since 1894. We're "consumer-owned", and the citizens of Marblehead are our stockholders. That's a win-win for our town's homes and businesses in many ways.
Over 125 years ago, citizens and businesspeople with vision struck a choice for energy independence. Like all great Yankees, our town went the independent route and chose to provide Marblehead with electricity through our own utility — instead of outsourcing this essential responsibility to a private entity that would be out of the town's (and customers') control.
