City of Melrose

The regional energy grid is back to normal, and you may resume normal activities. Thank you for helping conserve energy during this period of cold weather—we truly appreciate your support.

Urgent: Energy Conservation Notice
Due to the extreme and continued cold front, Melrose Public Utilities has been contacted by our regional power suppliers to initiate immediate energy conservation measures. We are asking all customers to limit household electricity use to essential needs only to help maintain grid stability for our community.

After a chilly winter day, nothing beats warm comfort food! At City of Melrose Public Utilities we’ve got the power you need to cook up all your favorite
hearty meals. Powered with reliable, affordable and community-owned
energy. That’s #PublicPower!
