Concord Municipal Light Plant

Concord Municipal Light Plant serves customers in Concord in Massachusetts with a residential electricity rate of $0.23 per kWh. This is 34% above the national average of $0.168/kWh, meaning solar savings are especially significant for customers looking to reduce their energy costs.

At current rates, a typical Concord Municipal Light Plant household using 900 kWh per month spends approximately $2,430 per year on electricity. An 8 kW solar system can offset most or all of that usage, saving an estimated $2,160 annually and $78,752 over the 25-year life of the system. With Massachusetts incentives of $320, the net system cost drops to $25,840, with a payback period of just 12 years.

As a municipal utility, Concord Municipal Light Plant sets its own rates and policies independently, separate from Mass Save and ConnectedSolutions programs that serve investor-owned utility customers. However, Concord Municipal Light Plant offers its own local rebate programs. Concord Municipal Light Plant offers net metering, allowing solar customers to receive credits for excess energy sent back to the grid. The utility offers a solar rebate of $0.63 per watt up to $3,125. Heat pump rebates of up to $10,000 are also available.

The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) expired at the end of 2025. State and utility-level incentives are now the primary financial benefits for homeowners going solar. NuWatt Energy handles the entire process from system design through permits and Concord Municipal Light Plant interconnection, ensuring you receive every available rebate.
