Fall River is among four cities the Bay State that the Department of Public Utilities has approved for alternative electricity bidding as part of a 24-community aggregation plan submitted this summer.
Ross Perry — municipal coordinator with the Southeastern Regional Planning and Economic Development District — said they received word late Tuesday that Fall River, New Bedford, Attleboro and one city outside the SRPEDD area, Melrose, received approval.
Mayor Sam Sutter will hold a press conference today to announce the city’s new electricity aggregation plan. Fall River will now be purchasing electricity in bulk with surrounding cities and towns at a lower rate. During the conference, the mayor plans to talk about what savings the new plan will bring for residents and businesses, and what the next steps to get the plan to fruition will be.
