The Greenfield Community Light & Power (GCL&P) Program kicked off in January and is providing 100% green electricity to all participants, at a price lower than the current Eversource Energy (formerly Western Massachusetts Electric Company/WMECo) price.  We want to take this opportunity to thank the community for supporting the program and also to highlight some key facts given the confusion created by recent external events.
