If your business gets electricity from a municipally owned utility, often called a municipal light plant (MLP), you could qualify for EV incentives on top of what’s already available from state programs.
Did you know?
MLP rates are often much lower than investor-owned utilities like National Grid, Eversource, and Unitil, so businesses can get even more fuel savings by driving electric.

Municipal light plant FAQs
Q: What is a municipal light plant?
A: A municipal light plant (MLP) is a utility that is owned by the town or community it serves. They provide energy directly to residents and businesses within their service areas.
Q: How do I know if my town has a MLP?

Q: If my business's town doesn't have a MLP, can I still get EV incentives?
A: Yes! Massachusetts businesses can qualify for state EV incentives.
Q: Why should MLP customers drive electric?
A: Massachusetts MLPs usually have much lower electric rates than investor-owned utility companies like National Grid, Eversource, and Unitil, so businesses that go electric can charge their fleets for even less. This means more fuel savings for your bottom line.
Outside of fuel and operational savings, there are plenty of benefits to driving electric. Learn more by visiting our fleet EV page.
