THE MALDEN ADVOCATE–Friday, October 28, 2022 Page 5 Mayor announces Malden Community Electricity program Advocate Staff Report M ayor Gary Christenson announced the creation of Malden Community Electricity, a program that will allow the City of Malden to use the combined purchasing power of all its residents to secure new electricity supply rates and more renewable energy. Malden Community Electricity is an alternative to National Grid’s default supply.

Additionally, the City will increase the amount of renewable energy used in the standard plan for Malden Community Electricity customers. “Malden Community Elecing forward.
