Colonial Power Update:
Beginning the week for 2/17/25, Hancock Town Residents will be receiving a mailing from Colonial Power / Direct Energy – this will come to you with The Town of Hancock as the return address. This is NOT a scam or junk mail. As previously voted on at Town Meeting on May 1, 2023 – the Town has entered into an aggregation to reduce the electric bills of residents. The mailing will explain what you need to do to receive the savings. If you are a part of National Grid or Eversource and do NOT currently have a contract with a 3rd party company (ex: Constellation) for a discount on power – you will automatically be enrolled into the aggregate – you DO NOT need to do anything unless you wish NOT to participate – if you do not wish to participate you can opt out by completing the enclosed paperwork and mailing it back. If you choose to opt out at this time – you can opt in at any time – as well if you opt in now you can opt out at any time. There are no fees to opt in or out. If you participate with a 3rd party company presently (i.e. Constellation or other company) – you can choose to leave that program (please check with them first to see if there are any fees to terminate your contract early) and opt into Colonial Power/Direct Energy. If you are in an agreement with a 3rd party company you will NOT be automatically enrolled in Colonial Power/Direct Energy.
If you have ANY questions about this new program you can contact Colonial Power directly at 866-485-5858 X-1.
An informational session will be held at Hancock School on Thursday, February 27th at 6pm – all residents are encouraged to attend to hear their options.

Hancock is a quiet, peaceful town about twenty miles long and three miles wide, bordered on the east by the famous Berkshire hills, and on the west by the rugged Taconic range.
Hancock is the longest and narrowest town in Berkshire County. The northern portion of the town is separated from the southern portion by a mountain. One has to drive through a couple of towns to the east or drive west into New York to get from one end to the other.
