MassMEC signs up 100 businesses
Manufacturing Energy Collaborative, or MassMEC, a buying group of
manufacturers that reduces energy costs by purchasing energy supply in
bulk, has signed more than 100 businesses to participate in the
collaborative to save on the rising cost of electricity and natural gas
this winter.
The cost of electricity for National Grid providers has jumped
37 percent from last winter while N-Star prices will increase 29
percent, motivating many manufacturers to find alternative options.
MassMEC members across the state range from metal manufacturers,
restaurants and breweries, to hospitals and real estate properties. In
Worcester County, the list of participating manufacturers include:
Worcester New Horizon in Worcester; Thermoplastics Inc in Worcester;
RCAP Solutions in Worcester; Worcester New Horizon Inc; TE Connectivity,
Worcester;
Hubbardston House Apartments in Hubbardston; Hostetter Homes
Osterville Test-Site Services in Milford; Test Site Services Inc. in
Milford; G&W Foundry in Millbury.
Precision Tape and Label Inc. in Uxbridge; Foam Concepts Inc. in Uxbridge; Rockdale Housing Apartments in Northbridge.
Rocheleau Tool & Die Co. Inc. in Fitchburg; RH White
Construction Services, Auburn; Northeast Real Estate Solutions in
Harvard; and Orange Innovation Center, Orange.
MassMEC, which was first announced by Gov. Deval Patrick in
April, enables manufacturing companies and businesses to lower energy
costs by negotiating volume rates from electricity and natural gas
suppliers.
It also provides no-cost renewable energy reviews and consultations.
Perhaps it is time to look at taking a more responsible approach and Nationalizing our Energy. We have been a war economy with constant growth since we allowed the International Bankers to get hold of our monetary system in 1914. With the Supreme Courts ruling on Citizens United in 2005 we may need to reassess Corporate America. Here is what I mean.
ReplyDeleteCitizensUnited It appears things are getting out of control.
I think one of the reasons National Grid has pushed up the price of electricity is they want to push the pipeline, trying to convince the public that it is needed. Shame on the group that approved this increase. Rate increases like these, hurt the people who rely on a fixed incomes and work for minimum wages.Bev.
DeleteAll those business in this line do not have municipal light plants in their towns and cities. They can not bargain on their own or with other group types. Templeton is at the mercy of the general manager and the commission/less the latter. for your business to get power cheaper it's up to you on your own to move your business to a non municipal area to be able to get a better deal.Unless your a paper mill who produces power and sells it back to the town good luck with any selling back of extra power you produce. It will be nice to see the contract with the solar farm on Farnsworth road. The amount our light bills will go down and the locked in prices they told us there would be. Looking at the amount of land we strip to use and the polution created by solar i wonder if the planet will suffer. One thing for sure the government is borrowing mega dollars to make the investors do this with their/our financial help. A future paycheck gaurantee for the owners so the money amounts work out to be able to get the investors on board. SOLINDRA rings a bell.
