Braintree Electric Light Department (BELD) is one of 41 municipal light departments organized under Massachusetts General Laws chapter 164, and one of more than 2,200 municipally owned light departments in the country. BELD is recognized locally and nationally as an innovator in technology and new services. In 2000, after running a new hybrid fiber coax network throughout the town, the department began offering High-Speed Internet service to Braintree residents. Over the following years, that was expanded to include phone services to both residents and businesses in town.

Solar "special offers" in Braintree

Read more about Solar "special offers" in Braintree

We have had some recent questions regarding solar installations and current ”special offers" residents are seeing.

If you get calls, see advertisements online, in the mail or at a table stand somewhere regarding the installation of solar on your property/roof, please don’t deal with those people. Most of/if not all of those “special offers” are not offered in Municipal Light Plant territories, such as Braintree. Besides the fact, there are many companies just trying to make a profit and the results may not be what you expect.
