About Gardner Energy and the Electric Utility Board
Prior to November 17, 2008, Electric was a division of Public Works.  However on this date, the City of Gardner created the Electric Utility Board  (see Ordinance 2296) which is responsible for the planning, development, production, purchase, transmission and distribution of all electricity for the City of Gardner.  The Board consists of five volunteers nominated by the Mayor and confirmed by the City Council, who serve without compensation. 
 
The Electric Utility Board is a voluntary group of citizens who are responsible for the planning, development, production, purchase, transmission and distribution of all electricity by the City.
  • The Board shall have exclusive jurisdiction, control and policy making responsibility of the electric utility of the City and its operations and facilities. 
  • The  Board shall have all powers and duties possessed by the City to construct, acquire, expand and operate the utility and to do any and all acts or   things that are necessary, convenient or desirable in order to operate, maintain, enlarge, extend, preserve and promote an orderly economic and business-like administration of the utility.
  • The Board shall operate as a division of City government.
