The Town of Wellesley Municipal Light Plant (WMLP) is a town department responsible for the transmission and supply of electricity to the residents and businesses in the town of Wellesley, Massachusetts. The headquarters of the WMLP is located at 455 Worcester Street, Wellesley, Massachusetts, and shares its grounds with the Wellesley Fire Department Headquarters and Town of Wellesley Department of Public Works. The WMLP serves 9,954 customers, of whom 8,812 are residential, 1,138 are commercial, and 4 are industrial. The largest customers (by electric demand) are Wellesley College, Babson College, Harvard Pilgrim, Sun Life Financial, and Wellesley Office Park. The WMLP holds membership in (NEPPA), American Public Power Association (APPA), and the (MEAM Mass). The WMLP has been the recipient of many awards and recognitions. It has received the NEPPA Commitment to Safety Award of 1986 - 1987, an American Public Power Association (APPA) award, and a gold award as a Reliable Public Power Provider in 2007 - 2008, to name a few. A municipal light plant does not produce electricity on its own. Power reaches the Town through substations and transforms high voltage to working home and commercial distribution within a sector. The WMLP has historically had attractive rates compared to other suppliers in the region and has had long term contracts with major generators. Today, the WMLP works on the national grid purchasing blocks of power under contracts over time. Current power is produced from and transferred to the US grid. About 80% to 90% of this power is produced via a hydro-electric dams from the Great Lakes and is among the least expensive and cleanest in the US. Subsequently, the electric rates in Wellesley are very cost effective and residents have attractive rates compared to other parts of the region, on a per mil watt cost per household. (en) |
