SELCO Postpones Open House For Shrewsbury Residents

NOTE: This event will be postponed until Oct. 6 due to forecasted severe storms on Friday.

SHREWSBURY, MA — Shrewsbury's unique electric and cable utility will open its doors this week for the first-ever Shrewsbury Electric and Cable Operations open house.

The Friday event will offer a range of activities for all ages, including tours of electrical infrastructure, electric vehicle demonstrations, food trucks, a bounce house, information on energy rebates, a raffle, free SELCO apparel and a lot more.

Shrewsbury is one of the few communities in Massachusetts that operates its own electrical and cable utility, as opposed to using companies like Eversource, National Grid and Spectrum. SELCO recently launched a new streaming service, offering hundreds of channels and digital storage similar to private apps. SELCO's electric, cable and internet offerings are often much less expensive compared to private companies.

The SELCO open house will run Friday from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the utility's headquarters at 30 Municipal Drive. Attendees can park across the street at the Paton School.
