There is no place like home... Today, under the banner of localight, the 40 municipalities have energized their alliance to focus attention on what has worked well for more than a century - public power. Public power is local power- communityowned and operated localight represents our commitment to old-fashioned service while keeping up with the new technologies needed for today's challenges. Big utilities think the answer to these challenges is to grow ever larger through mergers, acquisitions, and takeovers. Yet we all know that bigger isn't always better. Smaller electric companies provide a level of personalized attention that simply cannot be matched by giant companies. Under localight, we are uniquely able to take advantage of out collective size while individually maintaining the high level of service you have come to expect. ... That is if your home is located in one of the 40 communities that decided years ago to take care of its own power needs. Localight utilities are large enough to serve you, yet small enough to know you. As a localight customer, only you enjoy these benefits: Personalized attention from employees who see you as a neighbor, not an account number Control over rates and policies Value-added and customized services designed to meet your needs Undivided loyalty - our success is gauged by your satisfaction, not by quarterly dividends Superior service and reliability at not-for-profit rates A voice in your energy future   Copyright © 2005 GrotonElectric.org
