One attraction of Perth-Andover, no other town or village can claim, is that the Village owns its Electric Light Commission. Under an agreement with Maine & New Brunswick Electrical Power Co. Ltd., the Village purchases power from the Tinker Dam and resells it to the residents and businesses of the Village over its own distribution system. This arrangement has resulted in a power rate below that paid elsewhere in the province.
