Rolling out this month is an optional electricity program
for residents and business owners that promotes renewable energy use.
Brookline Green Electricity is a community aggregation
program designed to give residents and business owners the opportunity to sign
up for one of three plans, which offer different levels of renewable energy at
fixed rates for 30 months.
The program takes advantage of a state goal to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions by 80 percent by 2050, according to Maria Morelli, a
senior planner at Brookline’s Department of Planning and Community Development.
