Here for you...Since 1907

---

Since its formation in 1907, The Groveland Municipal Light Department (GMLD) has been here for it's owners - the ratepayers in the Town of Groveland.  As with everything, Groveland Light has changed with the times. 

2013 brought about the installation of a 3.16mW Solar Farm located off of Main Street.  This facility has the capability of producing most of the power needed by the town during its production hours.  At the time of it's construction it was one of the largest solar facilities in the Commonwealth dedicated to serving a municipal utility.

What's in store for GMLD in 2022?  First, a big change:  We said goodbye to our Line Foreman, Ron Saunders, who retired at the end of February after a long career at both the Merrimac and Groveland Light Departments.  Joining our team to fill the void is Kirk Blaisdell,  Kirk has been involved with Municipal Light Plants since 2010, last serving as a Lead Lineman for the Marblehead Municipal Light Department. 

For projects we'll be continuing to upgrade our Distribution System, including voltage conversions on Governors, Garrison, Gardner and Bare Hill.  We'll also be replacing poles on School Street from Gardner up to Anne Street in conjunction with a Groveland Highway Department project to install new sidewalks.  We'll be assisting on the installation of the new dog park at the Pines Rec Area, discussing with Groveland Housing the need to upgrade the utility infrastructure at the Pines Housing Complex, and upgrading some underground equipment serving Whitestone Village and the Groveland Commons Townhouse complex.

We're always moving forwards, looking to improve the system for our customers!
