Retail competition began in March 1998; all customers severed by investor-owned utilities were eligible to choose a competitive supplier. The Department of Telecommunication and Electricity is investigating whether metering and billing services should be competitive. Legislation, HB 5117, was signed into law November 1997 giving customers a 10% rate reduction; however, there has been little switching activity. Since the switching activity was so poor and supporters of deregulation have always encouraged that higher standard offer rates (available until 2004) increase competitiveness, the department decided to raise the standard offer price for electricity. The department only approved stranded cost if the utilities divest its generation facilities, complete retail competition implementation plans, mitigate transition cost, and comply with rate reduction requirements. Hence, Massachusetts Electric, Eastern Utilities, Boston Edison, Western Massachusetts Electric Company, and Commonwealth Electric Company settlement agreements have all been approved by the department.

Maria Mitchell Observatory* Vestal Street Nantucket, Massachusetts Maria Mitchell (1818-1889) was America's first woman astronomer and the first woman to be admitted to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. As a young girl she helped her father, William, a Nantucket astronomer, with his observations. On October 1, 1847, Maria Mitchell discovered a comet and won international recognition. The observatory building was constructed in 1908 and incorporates part of her birthplace and family home on Nantucket. Hopkins Observatory* Williams College Williamstown, Massachusetts The Hopkins Observatory is associated with the career of Professor Albert Hopkins who traveled to Europe in 1834-35 and brought back many astronomical instruments, including a Herschelian reflector of 10-foot focal length. The Observatory building dates to 1868 and is one of the oldest extant observatory buildings in the United States today.
