Program prices

Salem PowerChoice offers three options. As a new participant, you will be automatically enrolled in Standard, which provides an additional 20% of your electricity from renewable sources.

  • The Plus option is available by request and provides 100% of your electricity from renewable sources.
  • The Basic option is also available by request and provides the lowest price in the program.

As a participant in Salem PowerChoice, your electricity supplier will be Dynegy until December, changing to First Point Power with your December 2024 meter read.

If you are eligible for a low-income discount or fuel assistance, you continue to receive that benefit as a participant in Salem PowerChoice. If you have National Grid’s Budget Billing, it continues to apply to your whole bill.
