Stop & Start Service : Taunton Municipal Light Plant

To all new service customers of the TMLP:

TMLP welcomes you to the area. We are happy to offer you the necessary assistance to make your move a smooth transition. While we recognize that the electric company is not always the deciding factor in selecting a location to live or work, we do want you to know that, here at TMLP, we value our coveted status as a local, community-owned, low-cost, service provider and will go the extra mile to improve our service to you every day.

In addition to providing its core service of safe, reliable, and environmentally responsible electricity, TMLP also provides high-speed internet access for your home or business at very competitive rates. Visit our Internet page for more details.

By maintaining low rates, providing excellent and reliable service, and partnering in community-based activities, TMLP continues to earn the respect of its customers, business owners, and other key decision makers in the communities it serves.

Prompt Payment Discounts

One of the most valuable benefits of doing business with us is the Prompt Payment Discount of 5% on all current electric charges. Customers who pay their electric bill, in its entirety, within ten days from the billing date are eligible to receive the discount. No other gives you such a benefit.

You may wish to inquire about our automatic payment options by MasterCard/Visa or checking account as well. These are just some ways to guarantee that you will receive the prompt payment discount even if you are too busy to write a check every month.
