Marblehead Municipal Light Department

Marblehead, MA's Electric Power Company

We're proud to be your electric light utility. 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. It's a win-win for homes and businesses in many, many ways.

Marblehead's Old North Church - Copyright 2015 Mike Porter

Over 120 years ago, citizens and businesspeople with vision struck a choice for 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 their control.

Marblehead Municipal Light Department is a "MUNI", one of only a few hundred in the entire country. And it has paid dividends in so many ways to our customers. Learn more about the advantages of having a "MUNI" in your community.

MMLD has been the recipient of the MMWEC Energy Efficiency Program Award for Best Website/Social Media. Read about it here.
