The Needham 100% Green Option, at 15.33 cents\/kWh, is surprisingly affordable, only a few cents more per kilowatt hour than Needham Standard. That&#8217;s an extra $17\/month for a home using 700 kWh\/month. Not only is it green power, it&#8217;s 100% green power that is produced in New England.<\/p>\n<div>A final note: there may be unscrupulous energy suppliers trying to piggyback on Needham&#8217;s program, using similar names but not vetted by the Town. Needham Power Choice is the only supply program that features the Town seal.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You got the postcard! You got the letter!
