The Our Town Energy Alliance (Fuel division of Our Town
Consumers Choice) was founded in November, 1999 by the Barrafords as a community service for senior citizens. Those 74 members told
all their friends and neighbors and we had almost 1000
members by the end of 1999. Our Town Publishing paid all the
mailing, secretarial and phone costs for 1999 members. It
was wholly supported and managed by the Barrafords and Our
Town Publishing Inc..
In 2000, we made the organization independent of the
publishing company. From the 74 original members it’s grown
to its present 2011 membership of 15,000 plus households,
schools, towns and businesses through “word of mouth”. In
2005, we purchased The Energy Alliance of NH, another fuel
membership group when its founder, Wayne Mock,
retired. We ran both groups independently for two years
until realizing that merging the two groups would be more
efficient and give us better buying power.
It has truly been a community effort. We've fought several
battles together against the speculators and for the rights of
the oil consumer. After eleven years, many of you are good
friends and we consider all of you our good neighbors. We thank
you all and promise to continue to do our best for you in these
difficult times.
