SHREWSBURY – Community members received unparalleled access to SELCO’s Municipal Drive facility during an open house on Oct. 6.
SELCO’s open house was the company’s latest initiative to connect with residents.
“That’s the essence of our whole business model. We’re here to serve the community,” said General Manager Christopher Roy. “This is just another opportunity for us to connect and show the community what we’re about and have a good time.”
Employees were available to showcase the company’s technology, programs and initiatives. Employees had information on rebates, SELCO Stream demonstrations, an electric vehicle display, tours of the substation and more.

SELCO provided free popcorn, safety vests and hard hats, bounce houses, touch-a-truck activities and fun activities meant to teach the younger crowd about electricity and what SELCO does.
Patrons had the opportunity to pet the sheep that “mow” the grass around solar plants. The solar plant gets free landscaping, and the sheep get free lunch. Shrewsbury Media Connection was also at the event, providing green screen fun.
The event, which was already rescheduled due to rain, persevered through light drizzles. The rain certainly wasn’t ideal, but the community didn’t let the wet weather dampen its spirits.
“We’re happy to be here today despite the drizzle,” Communications Coordinator Valerie Clemmey told the Community Advocate.
