Who We Are

We are a group of area residents who have come together to explore and promote effective change from our current utility provider, Unitil.

Do you remember the ice storm of December 2008? If you live in Unitil's service area—Ashby, Fitchburg, Lunenburg, or Townsend—you probably can't forget. Generators, fireplaces, flashlights, and a complete lack of information from our electric utility were our constant companions.

And, ironically, this was not the first time. We lost power for an extended period in December 1996, and there was no communication then, either. Our desire for change has grown, not just from the devastation of the storm of 2008, but also with continuing business practices that include regular blue sky outages, overestimated bills, and the second highest electric rates in the country.
