Cape Light Compact – A Local Resource for Going Green

Since its inception in 1997 as the nation’s first community choice aggregation, the Cape Light Compact has been helping energy consumers on Cape Cod and Martha’s Vineyard save money through innovative energy efficiency programs, consumer-friendly power supply options, and effective consumer advocacy efforts.
