Join us in the clean energy transformation in Hingham! The Massachusetts Clean Energy Center (MassCEC) is a global clean energy hub that funds clean energy technology installations, financing, development programs, and other incentives. There are opportunities to reduce your home's carbon footprint by replacing outdated systems and appliances with the most efficient decarbonization technologies available. Check out MassCEC's 'Go Clean' website at goclean.masscec.com/ to learn more!
Cleaner Greener Hingham, a volunteer Town committee focused on issues related to waste disposal and recycling, has created a zero-waste guide to help Hingham residents close the loop and promote reusing goods on the South Shore! When we buy goods, there are raw materials and energy used to produce and package them. By buying used items or giving our own items a second life, we can reduce consumption and our carbon footprint!

Thank you for working so hard to restore power quickly!
Woof. Thank you for restoring power so quickly!
Thank you for working quickly!
You ain't kidding.. That's why Hull has been leasing generators, that one wire by Weir River cuts off the entire town
We lost a transmission line coming into the Town this afternoon and a significant portion of Hingham customers had lost power. Power has been restored at this time to all customers. Thank you for your patience.
Thank you for repairing so quickly.

KENNEDY LAW OFFICE Appreciates the efforts of HMLP
The kids actually had to talk to us after school today. Can you shut the power off everyday at around 3?
Only a 0:21:53 downtime. That was super-fast in my opinion. Good job and thank you. Unfortunately, it was so fast I had to login back to work and finish the day.
👏🏻
It went on while I was on the phone with the office!! Thank you for doing such excellent work!!
Thanks HMLP from everyone @ AZ Studio!👏😃🌟💫
Good Afternoon,

It has been confirmed that power was restored to all affected areas earlier this afternoon!
We have identified the problem and are working to restore power now! Certain parts of South Hingham have been re-energized, but we're still working to address the damage in the South Pleasant/Charles/Lazell area.
Hi All,
Within the last half hour, we have received multiple calls of power outages across South Hingham. Our crews have been dispatched and we are looking into it now. Please hang tight as we diagnose the situation. We hope to get power back up and running as soon as possible.

Lights on here near QAC 💡🙂
New solar install! Another 7.68 kW of solar power is now a part of the HMLP system 👏
If you’re interested in installing solar, HMLP is currently offering a rebate of $0.60/W up to $6,000 for its customers.
❤️ Awesome 😎
🔌 Great news for Hingham 😃😃😃The South Shore has been awarded $344,000 to install eight new electric vehicle charging ports. The Hingham Municipal Light Plant will receive four ports, the Blink Network in Norwell will receive two ports, and CCO Holdings in Scituate will receive two ports. All of the charging stations will be publicly accessible.
This technology is readily available, and it is important that Massachusetts take steps like this so residents can feel secure in their decision to move towards electric vehicles. I appreciate the efforts made by the Baker-Polito Administration and MassDEP to expand charging options throughout the South Shore.
Line Crew coming back from an outage earlier in the morning. Rain,Shine,Blizzards and freezing cold temps, HMLP lineman go above and beyond 🙏🙏🙏🙏

When you buy a car, you consider not only the price but how much gas the car will need. When you buy appliances, you should also consider how much energy it will take to run them.
Keep clear of power lines. When power lines are nearby, use wooden or fiberglass ladders near metal. Never place a ladder or antenna where it can fall or come into contact with overhead lines. Keep children's swing sets and tree houses away from power lines.
