Marblehead Municipal Light Department "Owned by the People We Serve!"
The mission of Marblehead Municipal Light Department (MMLD) is to provide reliable power as we work towards a goal of a carbon free portfolio, while maintaining competitive rates in a safe working environment for MMLD employees and its customers.
Since 1894 when town voted to authorize the formation of its own municipal light department, MMLD has been providing modern electric power to the citizens and businesses of Marblehead. Many upgrades have been instituted over the years, including the latest Smart Meter technology, downtown underground utilities, substation construction and much more. Read more here.
MMLD's Light Commission, our governing body, holds regularly scheduled meetings in the Conference Room at Commercial St. Dates and times of the meetings are posted on our website.

MMLD is proud to be your electric light utility. We are 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 our town's homes and businesses in many, many ways.
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 to our customers in so many ways. Learn more about the advantages of having a "MUNI" serve your community.
In 2015 & 2017, MMLD was the recipient of the MMWEC Energy Efficiency Program Award for Best Website/Social Media! Read all about it.
