What People Say About Us
Resident Testimonials
Been a Braintree resident my entire life and never been without power for days. Lost it for 20 minutes today. Stay safe you guys are the best.
Keri A.Braintree Resident 
Thank you BELD! Extraordinary, above and beyond service as always. Stay Safe
Thomas F.Braintree Resident 
We've been living in Braintree for 35+ years and the longest we've been without power was with hurricane Bob back in 1991 and it was only for a couple hours. Most times we're back up and running after about an hour or less. This is not to say that it can't be longer but the point of my comment is that BELD Linemen work as fast as they can and it's much appreciated. I remember after Hurricane Gloria in 1985 when I lived in another town we were without power for about 2 weeks.
Noel G.Braintree Resident
Another shout out to the people working at BELD. Getting the power back on in crazy weather conditions has got to be difficult.
Greg H.Braintree Resident
Was sure feeling blessed to have full power all day yesterday home with the kids! 8 years in Braintree and haven't lost power yet! One of the best parts about living in Braintree. Thanks for all your hard work!
Carolyn O.Braintree Resident
Be careful out there. U guys do a hell of a job keeping Braintree power on. U guys are the best.
Joey R.Braintree Resident
Thank you, BELD. It's not only the power plants; it's the constant maintenance you do on the distribution network, that has made such a difference in these big storms! The big companies neglect all these things in favor of profits.
Marje S.Braintree Resident
I feel grateful to have such efficient electric company in the town.
