ELECTRIC RATES

In 2024, MMLD adjusted its rate structure for all metered classes of electric service. These revenue-neutral rate changes were a continuation of our multi-year plan to ensure our rates accurately reflect the Cost of Service study findings undertaken by Utility Financial Solutions LLC, (UFS), a highly reputable, nationally recognized firm in Holland, MI.

We provide a Rates Page to help you understand your rates. If you have any questions, call us at (781) 631-5600 or send us an email.

About Marblehead's Electric Department

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.

Marblehead's Old North  Church - Copyright 2015. All rights reserved. Mike Porter

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.

Learn more about the advantages of having a municipal light company power our community.
