Aggregation Tips

Visit the Cape Light Compact's website for information on the "Community Choice" aggregration program offered to electricity consumers on Cape Cod and Martha's Vineyard. Competitive supply contracts negotiated by the Compact may provide monetary savings, and they provide the best deal on boutique green power products in Massachusetts. For detailed information on power supply options, click here.

Visit Cape & Islands Self-Reliance's website for information on the aggregation program offered to heating oil consumers on Cape Cod and in mainland communities. Under the program, full-service heating oil companies deliver lower-cost fuel. They also offer a greener option—bioheat, a mix of biodiesel and conventional fuel.
