BARNSTABLE – The Cape Light Compact recently issued a notice and a request to the public to discuss its petition with the Department of Utilities seeking approval for a mid-term modification to its 2022-2024 Three-year Energy Efficiency Plan.
The hearing is set for Monday, September 9, 2024, at 2 pm on Zoom and will invite public and consumer input on the Compact’s proposal to increase its Department-approved energy efficiency budgets in the residential and income-eligible, as well as commercial and industrial sectors.
The Compact maintained that the newly proposed budgets are caused by higher-than-expected consumer demand and participation in its all-electric projects and that the increased funds would bolster projects already in its pipeline through the end of the calendar year.
If approved, the average residential customer would experience a monthly bill increase of about 5 dollars, or roughly 2.6 percent, though total consumer impacts may vary individually.
