What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Barrington officials set the winter pricing for the Barrington Community Electricity program at 16.929 per kilowatt hour. The program stated this rate is less than Rhode Island Energy’s residential supply while offering 5% more clean energy from Rhode Island sources. Residents enrolled in the program will also receive bill credits that keep their total winter bills at or below the cost from the summer.
